Hyderabad, Sept 9 (Maxim News): The investigation into the Cherlapally drugs case, which has created a national sensation, is gaining momentum. It is known that the Maharashtra Police is investigating the case of raw materials worth Rs. 12 thousand crores in the Vagdevi Labs Chemical Factory. However, it seems that central government agencies have also stepped into the investigation of this case. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), a key agency across the country in controlling narcotics, has already collected basic details from the Maharashtra Police.
It is reported that NCB officials have also collected evidence at the Vagdevi Labs chemical factory in Cherlapalli, With preliminary evidence that MD drugs are being supplied to several states, the investigating agencies believe that national and international drug networks are involved. In this context, the investigation by NCB officials will also become crucial.
The police have collected evidence that the key accused Srinivas Vijay has been manufacturing and selling MD drugs for the past ten years. Since foreign agents are also working with Srinivas Vijay, there is a possibility of large scale money transactions. Since some money may be exchanged in the form of hawala, it seems that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials are also investigating the matter from the perspective of money laundering.
The police have identified Srinivas Vijay Voleti and Tanaji Pandarinath Patwari as very good at manufacturing and transporting drugs. It is known that Fazal and Mustafa used to come to Cherlapalli from Mumbai frequently for drugs.
The Maharashtra police have seized the CCTV footage related to this. The 13 accused who have already been arrested in this case are in judicial remand. There is a judicial remand till the 15th of this month. As part of the investigation of the case, the Maharashtra Police will take the accused into custody. If they are interrogated, some new angles are likely to come to light.
It is learnt that the Telangana Eagle (Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement) police recently conducted a search operation in Mumbai. Based on information collected from Nigerian drug suppliers recently arrested in the state, it was found that the money earned through drug sales is being transferred to foreign countries, including Nigeria via Mumbai.
It is learned that 24 people who were transferring money have already been arrested in this case. It is reported that searches were conducted in areas where Nigerians mostly reside, including Pune. However, Eagle officials have not confirmed the search operation carried out in Mumbai. (Maxim News)
