Patna police have busted a drug trafficking gang operating in the Kankarbagh area. Police said the drug trafficking gang had been selling drug injections to students and young people near a coaching centre. Three people — Amarjeet Kumar, Sonam Devi, and Ravi Paswan — were arrested. All of them are residents of the Ramakrishna Nagar slum.
Police recovered 151 drug injections from the accused. Officers said the group was linked to earlier arrested smugglers. The arrests were made after a raid near Kankarbagh Sai Temple on December 8.
During questioning, the accused revealed that they bought the injections from a local dealer. Police are searching for him. They also admitted they had been selling drugs for six months and mainly targeted students.
In October, police had arrested seven more members of the same network from Kankarbagh and Patna City. Over 16,000 drug injections and 76,000 sleeping pills were seized at that time.
Police have urged parents to stay alert. Drug use can cause serious health problems and harm a child’s mental and physical development.
