Abdul Mohammed Shaikh, alias Abdul Thana and his family are peddlers of the high life. Nine members of the 66-year-old’s family make a living out of procuring and selling hashish. While Abdul’s career is well documented by the police, the large-scale involvement of nine of his family members in the syndicate emerged after he was recently held and interrogated by the Narcotics Control Bureau.
