'Not a transit point, Kolkata now an LSD market'

Kolkata | Sunday | 20th January, 2019

Summary:

All the accused are residents of Swinoe Street.“The accused had formed a close-knit group that procured and sold LSD amongst themselves. KOLKATA: The arrest of three students from engineering, law and management backgrounds along with LSD cubes worth Rs 7,000 each in the first ever haul of LSD cubes and liquid LSD in Kolkata , has taken the lid off a party drug cartel that sourced drugs through Himachal Pradesh and the northeast.Since 2017, party drug LSD begun to be circulated in the city. Another accused, Mukherjee, had passed his LLB from Kolkata and was running a guest house in Himachal Pradesh. Probing into the drug cartels in the city that mainly supply LSD and hashish to young party goers, cops said they were shocked that separate gangs were operating among students. With Kolkata Police’s narcotics cell and the Naroctics Control Bureau carrying out regular arrests in the city — with the latest being on January 14 — it is now clear that Kolkata is no more a mere transit hub..
