Mumbai: Customs officials last week arrested two persons, including the son of a Rajasthan-based senior official, in a case involving cannabis smuggling.
Sources said Divyansh Gautam, a resident of Sanganer Bazaar in Jaipur, is the son of an official working in the Rajasthan education department. The second accused is Nityam Bhimani, a Vadodara resident.
The courier cell of the airport special commissionerate (APSC) unearthed the racket on May 19 after they found a courier containing 240gm cannabis. The drug used to be supplied across the country, including to students of a university in Gandhinagar, officials said.
On May 23, officials detained Devyani Joshi who had come to collect the parcel. She told officials that she had been sent by Hitesh Patel. Following his arrest, Patel, who had imported four consignments of the drug earlier, spilled the beans on Divyansh Gautam and one Abhishek.
Divyansh and Abhishek are said to have used bitcoins to place orders for cannabis on the dark net. Divyansh, who arranged finances, has purportedly cut off ties with his family. Abhishek is on the run. Divyansh led officials to Nityam Bhimani.
