The V.V. Puram police on Saturday busted an inter-state drug racket and arrested a 30-year-old Nigerian national and recovered 1.4 k.g. of MDMA powder worth around ₹2 crore from him.
The accused, identified as John Egwata, was caught red-handed while waiting for his clients to deliver the drugs near V.V. Puram circle. The police took John to his house in R.T. Nagar which he had rented with his associate. Sensing trouble, his associate locked the house from the inside and flushed the drugs in the washroom and scaled down the second floor using the water pipe, and escaped .
The police later broke open the door and searched the house to find more powder from under the LPG cylinder where it was concealed.
