MBA arrested for smuggling drugs

NEW DELHI: A 32-year-old businessman has been arrested with eight kilograms of heroin, worth Rs 30 crore, from Nizamuddin railway station.

Police believe the accused, Anumulagundam Soma Shekhar, is part of an international drug cartel operating from Kuwait, Afghanistan and Pakistan. With Shekhar's arrest, the crime branch has recovered a total of 30kg heroin, worth over Rs 100 crore.

During interrogation, the accused said he entered the trade after suffering huge losses in his construction business, which he began after completing his MBA from Hyderabad. "His father was a senior officer at an Italian-based cement manufacturing unit in Kaddapa, Andhra Pradesh so the accused had started a stone-crusher unit," said DCP (crime) Bhisham Singh. Police said Shekhar began peddling drugs after coming in contact with an NRI named Rajni who was living in Kuwait.

The accused went to Srinagar to procure drugs on March 26. "He was caught red-handed from Nizamuddin station on March 27 by a team led by ACP Zile Singh," said Ravindra Yadav, additional CP (crime).
