Suppliers were from Goa’s Colvale Jail in Radisson Blu drug raid case

In an interesting turn of events in the elaborate drug raid at Gachibowli’s Radisson Blu, the police officials have found a link with the huge network of drug suppliers and peddlers operating out of Goa’s Colvale Jail. Cyberabad police have now booked cases against the hotel for allowing the premises to be used for commission of an offence.

As per the latest information shared by Madhapur DCP Vineeth G, two empty sachets which contained three grams of cocaine were obtained from the rooms of the star hotel where the raid was conducted during the intervening night of February 25 and 26 following a tip-off about a party involving drugs.  “The drugs involved in the party came from Mirza Wahid Baig, who directly took it from Faisal, a Hyderabad-based point of contact for the drug trade operated from the Goan jail,” a senior official told The Hindu on the condition of anonymity.
