Drug peddler dodged airport security

Hyderabad: Producing the duo at a press conference here on Thursday, Hyderabad police commissioner A K Khan said following the series of arrests of peddlers selling cocaine for the past one month, a special team of city police began keeping watch on the possible customer pools like colleges, pubs and hukka joints.
After a close surveillance, a trap was laid and the duo caught red-handed when they were trying to sell the drug to a west zone police decoy party led by Banjara Hills SI Khaleel Pasha. Police seized 45 grams of cocaine from Chima and 35 grams from Akeel. The contraband was stored in small plastic bottles.
They were nabbed while waiting near a green Maruti Zen for a customer.
The duo confessed to the cops that they are here to sell cocaine to customers at Rs 3,800 to Rs 4,200 per gram. The commissioner said the case will now be transferred to Central Crime Station (CCS) police to pin down national and international players of the cartel.
According to the commissioner, the two have been selling cocaine across all metros by taking orders from their local agents. After taking orders, the duo personally deliver the cocaine to customers at pre-designated spots including hotels, pubs, marriage halls, resorts and farmhouses.
