Parrikar wants police to probe Goa drug link in Hyd rave party

"I will ask the police to give me details. They will be inquiring with their counterparts in Andhra Pradesh," Parrikar, who is also the state Home Minister, told PTI.

He said he would be able to comment further on the issue only after going through the details collected by police in the case.

Police had busted a rave party at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad on Saturday night and arrested a Ugandan national who had reportedly confessed that he had sourced the drugs from a Nigerian living in Goa. The arrested accused was on a student visa in the country.

Fourteen grams of cocaine, ten packets of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and 10 pills of micro methylene dioxy methamphetamine (MDMA) were seized by the the police during the raid.

In the past, Parrikar had said the drug menace had been curtailed in Goa to a great extent. "I won't say that drug is totally out of Goa but certainly it has been reduced," he had told reporters.
