In Mumbai, the Vanrai Police Station has made another arrest in connection with the deaths of two individuals from a suspected drug overdose at a live concert, bringing the total arrests to seven. The latest arrest is linked to a larger syndicate involved in narcotics supply, with authorities still searching for the main accused believed to be orchestrating drug distribution at events.
The arrested individual, allegedly part of the drug supply network, was taken into custody and is set to appear in court. Investigations into the students’ deaths at a music concert in Goregaon are ongoing, revealing drug consumption not only before but also during the event. Police discovered narcotics being transported from Kalyan to Mumbai through couriers for distribution among students.
Authorities disclosed that a consignment of MDMA, commonly known as yellow pills or ecstasy, was supplied a day before the concert. Two key figures in the drug supply network, Anand Patel and Pratik Pandey, have been identified and arrested, with Pandey handling distribution among students while Patel supplied the drugs.
The investigation also revealed that attendees purchased MDMA pills for Rs 6,400, with drugs delivered to Pandey at his hostel for distribution. Pandey, a first-year MBA student, had easy access to students, facilitating drug distribution without suspicion. The police are working to uncover the larger drug supply network involved in the incident.
