Jaipur: The 42-year-old Border Security Force (BSF) inspector held for drug peddling admitted to having transported a large amount of opium through local autorickshaw drivers from hilly areas of the Northeast, said Jaipur police.

Both Kudi and Devenda then sold the narcotics for Rs 1.80 lakh to Rs 2 lakh a kg,” said the officer, adding that the accused had links with big drug racketeers.
