Three persons, allegedly involved in supplying high-grade hashish to drug traffickers in Delhi and Goa for rave parties, have been arrested here, police said today.
Police has seized 11 kgs of high quality party drug Malana Cream hashish worth Rs 55 lakh from the three accused, said P S Kushwaha, DCP (Special Cell).
The syndicate had allegedly sold over 60 kgs of Malana Cream worth over Rs 3 crores in Delhi and Goa, he added.
In the second week of February, information was received that a man from Himachal Pradesh is supplying huge quantity of Malana Cream Red-Ice to drug traffickers of Delhi and Goa for parties, he said.
The accused had brought 20 kgs of drugs and nine kilograms were delivered to a drug receiver Resham in Delhi and the remaining quantity was to be delivered to someone in Goa.
A team was formed and it was found that the accused was operating in Delhi and Goa through his syndicate members Rinku and Jitender, said the officer.
Brothers Bir Singh and Rinku are Nepali citizens.
As there was huge profit in transporting narcotic drugs, Singh also engaged his younger brother Rinku and his acquaintance Jitender, a driver, in the business, said the officer.
Singh used to ply his own commercial taxi in Manikaran and about six months back, he came in contact with a drug trafficker, Deepak Twang, a resident of Bersani, Kullu who employed him for trafficking drugs to NCR and Goa, said Kushwaha.
Twang had associate drug receivers - Resham Thapa in Delhi and Raju in Goa. For each trip, Singh used to get about Rs 10,000 per kg.
