An inter-state drug peddler was today arrested here on charges of selling high-end narcotic drugs in various cities, a top police official said.
Police seized 15 LSD blots, 10 amphetamine tablets, one kilo weed (ganja) from his possession and booked him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
K Ganeshkumar alias Bobby, hailing from Andhra Pradesh, was arrested for purchasing narcotic drugs like cocaine and LSD blots from Goa and selling them at Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi and other cities along with his associates, Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said.
Ganeshkumar after getting the drugs from Goa in turn used to supply them with weed, the police official said.
He worked for a short period in MNC firms. During that time he used to visit Goa along with his friends for consuming drugs and got acquainted with drug peddler Arbid Mir, a native of Kashmir, the official said.
Prospective drug consumers from other states placed orders on WhatsApp to Ganeshkumar and deposited money in his bank account, Bhagwat said.
Three of Ganeshkumar's associates were arrested last week.
Arbid Mir was subsequently arrested by Goa Police, the Commissioner said.
