“CCB Anti-Narcotics wing led by Police Inspector Virupaksha detected another drug procurement done through DARKNET,” he added.
The city police launched a massive crackdown against the drug peddlers and users after the Narcotics Control Bureau arrested three people from Kerala who were allegedly supplying drugs to Kannada film actors and singers.
The crackdown led to the arrest of many high profile people including film actresses Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjjanaa Dwivedi and party organiser Viren Khanna.
