In a special operation, the anti-extortion unit of the Mumbai crime branch busted a global narcotics cartel that was supplying ketamine to European nations, where it was sold at parties for anywhere between $60 and $100 per gram, cops said. The same syndicate also supplied other illegal medicines, painkillers, sleeping pills and sex enhancement pills, to the UAE and the US.
A special squad of the anti-extortion cell (AEC) and the anti-narcotics cell (ANC) led by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Datta Nalawade carried out raids in Andheri following a tip-off. “Two accused were arrested along with a huge seizure of drugs. Further investigation is underway to connect the links,” said Lakhmi Gautam, joint commissioner of police (crime).
