Dehradun : The police have also arrested the distributor who supplied capsules and pills to two medical store operators who were caught with a consignment of drugs in Sudhowala two days ago. Two days before the arrest of the operators, the accused had provided them 500 boxes of capsules and pills.

On May 7, the Premnagar police raided Vansh Medical Store near Sudhowala Chowk and arrested operator Krishna Kumar and his brother Vinay Kumar for selling drugs. About 68 thousand banned capsules and pills were recovered from their possession. During interrogation, the accused disclosed about purchasing the recovered goods from a distributor named Indrajit Singh.

Premnagar police station in-charge PD Bhatt said that during interrogation, Indrajit Singh told that he has a medical store near Ajabpur Chowk in the name of Super Medical Supplier. He met Krishna Kumar six months ago. Krishna Kumar lured him by promising to place him an order of 1000 boxes (144000 capsules) of the banned capsules. He was also assured to buy medicines from him for his medical store in future.

Indrajit said that he has taken a loan of about 70 lakhs from various banks, finance companies and markets. That’s why he got greedy and agreed to supply banned medicines.
