The interrogation, according to police officials, was after indications of links between the two and Abhishek Vuppala, business partner of Pudding & Mink pub and Anil Kumar, who were arrested following a raid on the pub on April 2. The links were revealed during questioning of Abhishek and Anil Kumar.

“The mobile numbers of a few persons were found in the phones of Abhishek and Anil Kumar. Based on that, we are issuing notices and asking those persons to appear before us,” an official said.

The police have also found that the packing of the drugs found at Pudding & Mink and the ones seized in the Punjagutta case were identical. The two businessmen are learned to have told the police that they did not know Abhishek or Anil Kumar.

The police have issued notices to three more persons asking them to appear before them.
