The Anti Narcotics Cell of Goa Police have busted one of the biggest LSD racket in the State and have arrested a NON GOAN (name withheld) from Anjuna and have recovered a staggering 1825 LSD blot papers W/Rs. 91 lakhs in the international market. As per sources this is the biggest LSD seizure by Goa Police.
The ANC apart from LSD have also seized other drugs from the possession of the accused which amounts to a whopping Rs.1.1 crores.
With the arrest of the accused the ANC have busted a pan India network of supplying LSD and other drugs. The accused used to receive the contraband hidden in books and photo frames through courier in big quantities and further used to send them to his customers across the country through courier as per their requirement.
The accused has been living in Goa since the last few years and used to procure huge consignment of drugs through the dark net and further supplied them to his customers, mostly from the party circuit in major cities of the country.
The ANC were working on this operation since last month and had maintained a sharp watch on his movements for almost a month. The ANC on late Monday night swooped down on the accused and raided his apartment in Anjuna and recovered the narcotics.
LSD or Lysergic Acid Diethylamide is a synthetic chemical based drug and is categorized as a hallucinogen. LSD abuse is largely prevalent among youngsters and party goers. Possession of 0.1 gram of LSD is a commercial quantity and till now this is the single largest LSD Blot seizure in recent time. The seizure is 270 times the commercial quantity.
This seizure was the 5th drug bust by ANC in the past 12 days taking the total amount of drugs seized to Rs.1.25 crores. The ANC have continued their crackdown on drug trafficking and more arrests are likely to happen.
The entire raid was supervised by PI ANC Sajith Pillai under the continuous monitoring and guidance of Dy.SP ANC Shri Nerlon Albuquerque and SP ANC Shri Tikkam Singh Verma, IPS and conducted by PSI Sunil Falkar assisted by HC Umesh Dessai, PCs Godish Goltekar, Sairaj Naik, Makarand Ghadi and PC Driver Kundan Patekar.
