For the second time in as many months, Nigerian drug peddlers at Byculla launched a stone throwing attack, this time injuring five policemen raiding their area of operations. A report in this paper detailed the assault. Last month, a gang of dealers had stoned residents for trying to stop their drug trade.

In this incident specifically, a team of about 10 to 12 cops from the Anti Narcotics Cell (ANC) went to inspect the Khada Parsi area, between Byculla and Sandhurst Road station. Their inspection was the result of several calls about a large number of Nigerians allegedly selling drugs on the railway tracks there.
