The Mumbai police discovered two sacks, weighing 12.5kg, filled with an unidentified substance from the Girna River in Nashik during their investigation into Pune’s drug lord, Lalit Patil, on Tuesday night. The search operation was conducted with the assistance of professional divers after Patil’s driver, Sachin Wagh, admitted to disposing of the drugs in the river.
Sachin Wagh is currently aiding in the search for the discarded drugs. He confessed to disposing of the drugs in the river in Nashik. Police teams reached the river in the early hours of October 24. “We are still searching for drugs in the river with the help of scuba divers. Since it’s an ongoing operation, it’s challenging to estimate the quantity of the seized drugs,” said an official. During the search, the police found two sacks filled with an unidentified substance suspected to be narcotics.
