Man held with 14g of MDMA in Kochuveli
T'puram: Fort police on Tuesday night arrested a 23-year-old man with 14g of MDMA during an inspection near Kochuveli railway station (Thiruvananthapuram North).
The arrested person was identified by police as Akash, son of Ajikumar near Punnakkamugal at Thirumala.
During a regular patrol near the station, police found the accused on Veli-Venpalavattom road near the railway station. Akash behaved strangely upon seeing the cops and during questioning, he could not give proper answers. The drug was found in two polythene covers inside his bag when examined.
"The accused confessed that he was waiting for his customers to sell the drug. However, he was not willing to disclose the details of customers. Akash's mobile phone was seized for further probe to identify other links in the drug racket. Call details and chat history of the accused are also being examined," police said.
The accused was in the business for the last three years. He used to buy the drugs from Bengaluru for sale here, added cops.
The accused was remanded after being produced before a court on a charge under Section 22 (c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act-1985.
