Some Africans
residing in Navi Mumbai sell drugs in Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
NAVI MUMBAI: It was found that some foreign nationals were
indulging in drug trade in Mumbai and then coming to Navi Mumbai to escape from
Mumbai police. These foreign nationals included mostly the Africans.
These
foreign nationals sell drugs in South Mumbai
and reside in Navi Mumbai. They resorted to this tactics especially after
Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) conducted a massive drive against drug sellers. Hence after selling drugs in Mumbai, they now
travel back to Navi Mumbai to avoid a longer presence in the area where they
commit the crime.
The
police did arrest a big number of them after they got to know that these
drug-sellers were renting apartments in Navi Mumbai and did their business in
Mumbai.
Africans
were found to be selling costly chemical drugs like cocaine, heroin and LSD
while the local drug peddlers sold the other kind of drugs.
The
in-flow of Africans in Navi Mumbai has resulted in the rise in their population
especially at Nerul, Seawoods and Kharghar.
Since
these Africans take shelter in Navi Mumbai the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC)
officials in Mumbai are unable to nab them after they get a tip off about the
sale of drugs in a particular area in Mumbai. These drug-peddlers cleverly
escape from the hands of the police by immediately going back to Navi Mumbai
after selling drugs in Mumbai.
