A week after Kenyan cabinet secretary Fred Matiang'i announced a war against drugs and carried out a massive raid at the sprawling, sea-facing bungalow of business tycoon Ali Punjani, nearly two dozen top policemen in Mombasa, Kenya, have either been shunted out or given low-profile postings in the police department, allegedly because of their 'close connections' with the absconding mogul who is recuperating in Mumbai.

Punjani flew to Mumbai days before the police kicked off their ruthless drive against drugs in Mombasa. Before he came to Mumbai, he got admitted to a hospital in Mombasa where he underwent angioplasty.
