City police’s special crime branch team cracking the coded name ‘IK’ on a drug peddler’s mobile has helped the law enforcers expose an interstate network of narcotics, revolving around cocaine and MD drugs, with the illegally staying Nigerian nationals in Mumbai suburbs at the helm.

The cyber cell decoding the ‘IK’ has led to arrest of an illegally staying Nigerian Anthony Ivoke, who masqueraded as a cloth merchant.

Ivoke is learnt to be part of a drug cartel, operating from Mumbai’s suburbs of Nalasopara and Mira-Bhayandar, having it’s tentacles spread across different cities in Maharashtra and Gujarat.

City police, led by CP Amitesh Kumar, has so far seized MD drugs worth Rs50 lakh this year from 23 persons in 10 cases. “The involvement of Nigerians definitely indicates a bigger racket having supply chains in different cities,” said the CP.
Earlier into online cheating called ‘Nigerian frauds’, it has come to fore now that substantial numbers of African nationals, staying illegally in India, are behind a robust drug supply rackets spread across cities like Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nagpur, Ahmednagar and Surat, having well-oiled distribution network.

The arrest of one Ankit Gupta and two others by the crime branch’s anti-narcotic cell and seizure of over 82gm of MD worth around Rs9 lakh on July 5 is learnt to have led to the arrest of a peddler Mehendi Hashmi from Kandivali in Mumbai on July 8. The action came two days after anti-narcotic cell in-charge Inspector Vishal Kale, assistant PI Suraj Suroshe, constables Nitin Mishra, Naik constables Rajesh Deshmukh and others had nabbed the culprits.

During analysis of Hashmi’s cellphone, the cops had stumbled upon a coded name ‘IK’ as the supplier, who had delivered the MD consignment to him, which he later handed over to Gupta.
Nagpur police’s cyber expert sub-inspector Balram Jhadokar had extracted IK’s details from the Internet. This helped the anti-narcotic cell in-charge to zero down upon him with the help of Nalasopara police.
