GANGTOK, 23 March: A 28 year old youth was taken into custody by the Sadar Police here yesterday after he was reportedly caught red-handed peddling substances of abuse. The arrest led to the confiscation of a substantial cache of contraband substances.
The youth, one Deepak Rai, originally from Nepal and residing here for the past six years, is alleged to have been the peddling business for a while, operating from the house of one Bhakta Bahadur, an elderly resident of Lower Arithang. Police sources inform that the youth used to stash his ‘drugs’ in the senior citizen’s house who was unaware of the trick being played on him.
Deepak Rai is reported to have brought in a fresh consignment from Siliguri yesterday and stored it, as was his routine, in Bhakta Bahadur’s house. The Sadar Police was however tipped off by a source and team caught Deepak Rai in the act of peddling from the house at 1:45 p.m. today. He was immediately taken into custody and a search led to the recovery of 3,240 capsules of Spasmo Proxyvon and 440 tablets of N-10, both much abused prescription drugs.
