Three men who once were considered the leaders of a local drug ring were arrested by Hyderabad police for importing and distributing LSD and MDMA . The three men bought the drugs from a darknet vendor in the us or a middleman who also bought drugs from the darknet. The three men then distributed the LSD and MDMA to dealers who then distributed them in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
On July 2 police arrested Calvin Mascarenhas, Abdul Wahed, and Mohammed Abdul Quddus for their roles in a drug distribution network. Once the police arrested them they discovered they was part of a bigger operation which involved a darknet supplier in Chicago and a middleman.
Mascarenhas had been in police custody once before for marijuana possession and distribution. He denied the trafficking charge and acted “bitter” towards police and said they were framing him for marijuana distribution. But when officers of the Telangana Excise Department arrested him on July 2nd second he had took LSD before he was arrested. After being interrogated for 8 hours he told police “everything" about the operation.
the men would either buy drugs directly from the darknet or use a middleman named “Bob” or “Mountain,” who would purchase the drugs of the darknet. after buying the drugs the men would sell to the “peddlers" who then sold the drugs through there own drug network. They would keep in contact with their customers through through emails, WhatsApp groups and calls. "students from at least 25 premier schools and another 20 top colleges were customers of this gang that was selling LSD and MDMA. It is shocking."
Police do not know how to deal with the darknet market vendor from Chicago. Also, the middle man (“Bob” or “Mountain”) is on the run and police are still trying to find him.
