The special squad of the Ernakulam Assistant Excise Commissioner investigating the case registered in connection with the recent haul of 350 g of MDMA suspects a racket run by Keralites camped in the neighbouring States behind it.
Four persons – 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 in Kochi,, Kerala, as they had turned up for an alleged deal earlier in October.
“The racket is run by Malayalis camped mainly in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and we are in the process of gathering evidence to move against them. We have details of at least two persons suspected to be part of the racket though we will need evidence to arraign them as accused in the case,” said Excise officers.
