According to the police, a team of
crime branch led by Inspector Ashok Kumar had on March 30 received a tip-off
that three African nationals, who used to supply drugs in Chandigarh, were
arriving with a large quantity of narcotics.
Acting upon the inputs, the police
nabbed them and during investigation, learnt that they had come to India on
medical and business visas for a short stay, but got involved in drug peddling.
All of them were illegally residing
in India as their visa had already expired.
They bought the contraband from their country at cheap rates and further
sold it at higher prices in discos, pubs and bars of the Tricity area, the
police said.
The investigation in the case was underway, the police said, adding that they
were hoping to crack down on more members of this drug syndicate.
