The accused has been identified as Mahadev Kinchak Misal (52), a resident of Lohiyanagar. He was remanded in police custody till May 22 by a court of Judicial Magistrate (First Class) on Sunday. Police Sub-Inspector Madhusudan Ghuge has lodged the FIR against Misal in this regard at the Khadak police station.
Police constable Amol Pawar, who received a tip-off about Misal, said “Misal has a criminal record with two cases of drug peddling registered against him at Khadak and another police station in September 2012 and October 2013 respectively. I received information that Misal was in possession of some banned substances, which he was looking to sell in Lohiyanagar area, after which a trap was laid to nab him.”
According to the police, Misal is a murder convict and secured bail from the HC in May 2011.
