A major breakthrough has emerged in the NESCO drug overdose death case, where two students lost their lives, as investigators uncovered links to an international drug trafficking network during the interrogation of the prime accused, Mahesh ‘Mark’ Khemlani.
According to police sources, questioning of Khemlani revealed that the banned drugs responsible for fatal overdose were sourced from Europe. According to the police, Mark allegedly ordered around 4000 pills from a German-based drug peddler from Belgium. Shipments were routed in two consignments: 3000 pills initially and 1000 later.
