Man nabbed from south east Delhi for supplying drugs

New Delhi: A 28-year-old man was arrested from south east Delhi for allegedly supplying drugs, police said Saturday.

The Narcotics squad nabbed Abhijit Mukherjee, a resident of Delhi, who was involved in drug peddling in New Friends Colony area, Taimoor Nagar, Khirjrabad village and Delhi-NCR, cops said.

The police received information regarding supply of heroin in the area.

"On Friday, around 8.30 pm, the team laid a trap near Ashoka Park, Khijradab Village. A suspect was seen and he tried to run away after seeing the police. However, he was later apprehended," said Chinmoy Biswal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East).

Thirty two grams of heroin was seized from his possession, Biswal said.

During interrogation, he revealed that he is a school drop-out. In the early age, he came in contact with some drug-peddlers to earn quick money and he started supplying drugs for them, the DCP further said.

Saturday's arrest comes after a man, who had strongly opposed drug trade in Taimoor Nagar, was shot dead by two men last week.
