On Tuesday night, the police finally caught three of the 15 Nigerian drug peddlers they'd booked for attacking Byculla residents after the latter had tried to stop buyers from approaching the peddlers.

The operation involved 60 officers from Byculla, Agripada and JJ Marg police stations, CSMT GRP and Byculla RPF, and was headed by ACP (Agripada division) Dilip Shinde.
