Kollam East police on Sunday arrested Rami Isuldin Adam Abdulla, a 23-year-old Sudan citizen and the kingpin of a drug racket, from Bengaluru.
On October 8, District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) and Kollam East police had nabbed Badusha, an Eravipuram resident, with 75 grams of MDMA during a joint inspection. Following this, a special investigation team was formed under the supervision of Kollam ACP Pradeep on the instructions of District Police Chief (Kollam City) Merin Joseph.
Rami was taken into custody during an intensive probe into the source of the drugs. In connection with the case, the police had already arrested a 21-year-old woman named Agnes, who acted as an intermediary for the accused. The officials were able to trace Rami based on the information from her.
