3 arrested with drugs worth Rs 1cr - Times of India

NEW DELHI: With the arrest of an ex-serviceman from Assam Rifles and a BPO employee, police have busted yet another module of the Northeast based narco-terrorism network. Crime branch claims that drugs worth Rs 1 crore have been seized from the 3 accused, John Lalmingthanga alias John (35), Ashem Danny Singh alias Danny (32) and Lalawmpuia (27).

Intelligence agencies believe that a portion of money acquired by selling party drug 'ice' is diverted to Maoist sympathizers in northeast and Myanmar. The seizures include 100.49 kg of controlled substances pseudoephedrine (in tablet form) - packed in 5 cardboard boxes - and 70,000 strips (of 10 tables each) of pseudo-ephedrine, ( approximately 60 kgs).

Recently, cops had received a tip-off that some Manipuris, along with the locals of Delhi, are illegally sending narcotics, especially Pseudo-Ephedrine, from Delhi to Manipur. The drug is in demand internationally since it is used in the preparation of party drugs like ecstasy and ice.

"The team, lead by inspector Sanjay Dutt, was working on the movement of banned terrorist organization KYKL (Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup) of Manipur. It was learnt that Khumanba alias IK, a top commander of KYKL, was financing his terror activities with the assistance of one Delhi based John. John had reportedly established a godown in Janakpuri and large quantity of the narcotics were being packed for there for transmission to Myanmar, China via Manipur,'' said Sanjeev Yadav, DCP (special cell).

John, a resident of Manipur, is an ex-serviceman from Assam Rifles. After shifting to the capital, John tried his hands in various businesses but eventually started trafficking pseudo-ephedrine from the capital.

Danny is the son of an ex-teacher from Manipur. He works as a facilitator in obtaining contracts with various PSUs, and came in contact with John through a common friend. Since September, had been actively associated with John in his illicit business.

Lalawmpuia is a relative of John and works in a call centre in Gurgaon. He rented out his flat as a godown to John and Danny for the packaging of illegal drugs in Village Asalatpur, Janakpuri.
