Police on the hunt for Mamta Kulkarni's husband in Rs 2,000 crore drug racket

A hunt for the kingpin behind a Rs. 2,000 crore drug racket, has sent the Thane police knocking on the doors of former Bollywood star Mamta Kulkarni's house. According to reports, the former actress’ husband, Vicky Goswami, has allegedly been named as the mastermind behind a massive scheme to smuggle drugs to the US, from a factory in Mumbai- via Kenya.

Goswami, who was out on bail after being arrested by the Kenyan police officials with the information from the US Drug Enforcement Agency, will soon be extradited from Kenya.

In a raid at a pharmaceutical factory earlier this week, the police found nearly 20,000 kilos of substances like ephedrine and acetic anhydride, that are used party in drugs. The total cost of the material found, reportedly rounds up to over Rs. 2,000 crore.

The seven people who have been taken into custody this past month, have revealed their links with Goswami and others involved in the racket. The police have however not yet been able to trace down Goswami’s whereabouts.

Vicky was previously arrested in Dubai for trafficking drugs, but was later released in 2013, when he married Mamta.

Mamta had starred in some of the biggest blockbusters in the 1990’s which included films like ‘Baazi’ and ‘Karan Arjun’.
