A hunt is on for the suspected ‘commander’ of the four-member racket that was busted with 350 grams of MDMA in an operation by the special action team of the Ernakulam Excise Enforcement Assistant Commissioner on Friday night.
Susymol M. Sunny aka Thumbipennu, 24, of Chingavanam in Kottayam, Ameer Suhail, 23, of Chengamanad, Ajmal K.A. aka Ajippai, 24, of Malippuram South, and Elroy Varghese, 21, of Angamaly were nabbed from Stadium Link Road as they turned up for an alleged deal.
During interrogation, the accused reportedly referred to one Sachin of Kollam and who went by the name ‘Commander.’ He was allegedly the one who sourced the drug, dubbed ‘Himalayan Meth,’ from Himachal Pradesh. Packaged in a polythene cover and made to look like a garbage pack, the drug was dumped near the Kochi airport following which the ‘commander’ sent the exact location of the package to Susymol who reportedly ran the racket using her alleged contacts with criminal elements.
