Bosco in touch with Mumbai dealers
According to the police, Bosco came to India on a business visa in June 2016 and has been living in Mumbai. “He exported garments bought from local manufacturers. A junkie himself, Bosco used to be in touch with African drug dealers in Mumbai and used to buy from them. In order to earn some extra bucks, he would smuggle the drugs to Hyderabad. He bought one gram of cocaine for Rs 2,000 and sold it for Rs 5,000 with the help of Jaharullah,” said B. Limba Reddy, DCP of the Commissioner’s Task Force.
Four days ago, Jaharullah contacted Bosco and told him to bring 80 grams of cocaine to Hyderabad. As per their plan, Bosco came to Madhuranagar Park at Yousufguda and when he delivered the drug to Jaharullah, the Task Force officers caught them and arrested them.
Beside the 80 grams of cocaine with Jaharullah, police also found 100 grams of cocaine with Bosco, who later confessed that he was going to deliver it to another peddler in Hyderabad.
