The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) on Thursday arrested a drug peddler, Asif Chuha, 34, from Andheri and seized 58 g of mephedrone (MD) worth at Rs 1.16 lakh from him. Well aware that as per the NDPS Act he can't be arrested if he doesn't have the drugs on him, the accused used to bribe schoolchildren with chocolate, toys, money and video games to get them to deliver the narcotics to collegians.

Chuha, who has six cases registered against him under assault, NDPS and other sections at DN Nagar police station, was arrested by inspector Anil Wandhavne and sub-inspector Shankar Pawale. He had been convicted and sentenced to two years in another case; after release, he had started dealing in MD.
