A Thane resident, living in Dubai since 1993, returned to India in 2023 to renew his passport but eventually started selling narcotics, which led to his arrest on Tuesday by Mumbai’s Azad Maidan unit of the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC). The man was facing exorbitant medical expenses due to a skin disease and he resorted to selling mephedrone (MD) to fund the treatment. His arrest also led to the arrest of a Nigerian national, who supplied the mephedrone, on Thursday. The accused, Firoz Sayyed, 42, worked along with his associate Joseph Chinaedum Chukwu, 39, a Nigerian who had been staying illegally in India.
