With the arrest of two persons and recovery of 100 LSD stamps, Delhi Police's Crime Branch today claimed to have busted an international drugs module.
The accused, identified as Khem Singh (34) and Hem Raj (35), both residents of Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district, have been arrested while they were allegedly processing a huge supply meant for rave parties on New Year's eve in Delhi and Mumbai, a senior police officer said.
Based on a tip-off, the police arrested the duo from Delhi on Christmas eve and recovered from their possession around 3 kg hashish and 100 Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)-soaked stamp papers, allegedly meant to be sold at a price between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 per stamp, the officer said.
This was the fourth LSD haul by Delhi Police. In July, the Narcotics Unit of Crime Branch had recovered around 270 LSD stamps with the arrest of a youth from Delhi.
In December 2014, the police arrested a duo, including a foreign national, from Delhi and recovered around 1200 LSD stamps from their possession.
During interrogation, Singh and Hem Raj told police that they were initially hashish addicts themselves and often used to exchange hard drugs for hashish with foreign tourists, leading them to a network of LSD.
Recently, they had exchanged around 3 kg hashish for 250 LSD stamps, and the recovered stamps are a part of that procurement, the senior officer added.
