Hyderabad: In a joint operation led by the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) and Langar Houz police, two persons, including a peddler, were arrested in the city. Police seized 15 gm of cocaine from their possession.
The peddler, 33-year-old Mohit Sanjay Mehra of Narsingi, and the consumer, 28-year-old Nagaram Jason Raj of Padmarao Nagar, were arrested at Langar Houz on Thursday. The duo were caught in the act when Raj arrived to buy cocaine from Mehra. Along with the cocaine, the police also seized two mobile phones, all worth Rs 3.9 lakh.
Mehra, who is from Mumbai, has a BTech in Mechanical Engineering. Police said that he moved to Hyderabad in 2021 to expand his gold business.
"After arriving in Hyderabad, he got divorced and started going to nightclubs frequently. He started experimenting with cocaine and soon became a supplier. He was buying cocaine from a Mumbai-based supplier for around Rs 10,000 per gram and selling it in Hyderabad for up to Rs 25,000 per gram," said H-NEW DCP YVS Sudheendra.
