An accused on bail in the Cordelia cruise drug case has emerged as the kingpin behind the mephedrone (MD) supply in Navi Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), region. The Anti-Narcotic Cell (ANC) of the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch found him to be involved after arresting two men with one kilogram of MD. They also apprehended a Nigerian national who supplied the drug to the two individuals.
The ANC is now searching for the accused, whose name came up during the investigation of the supply chain. “We seized approximately one kilogram of mephedrone from them. The two worked as delivery boys for an online portal. Under this guise, they supplied MD to local peddlers. The two also revealed the name of the Nigerian woman and the individual involved in the Cordelia cruise drug case,” said a police officer.
