Arrested people are educated experts

Surprising information has also come surfaced during the investigation. The arrested people are not ordinary drug peddlers but educated experts. They have established factories for the manufacturing of drugs to make the youth of the country addicted.

Gujarat connection

Gujarat connection has also come to the fore in the police investigation. The drugs were being manufactured and delivered to the market. Their network was spread from Palghar to Gujarat.

Drugs are peddled using social media

Social media apps were used to peddle drugs. Drug peddlers used to contact the gangs through social media apps and through these peddlers they used to supply drugs in Mumbai and its surrounding areas.
