The accused include a cloth merchant from Ayodhya who had set up an illicit drug manufacturing unit behind his shop, and an MSc graduate from Ahmedabad with a history of involvement in narcotics cases.

During Sharma's interrogation, the police learned that the narcotics had been supplied by one Mohammad Kayyum Yunus Hashmi , a cloth merchant from Sohaval in Ayodhya.

A Thane Police team immediately left for Ayodhya and surveilled the shop in plain clothes for five days. On April 27, with support from the Special Task Force , Lucknow, the police raided the premises and dismantled the hidden manufacturing unit. Hashmi was arrested on the spot, Jadhav said.
