NCB arrests film producer & ex-DMK worker in global drugs trade case
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Saturday arrested expelled DMK functionary and Tamil film producer Jaffer Sadiq for his alleged involvement in an international drugs trafficking nexus, which sourced Pseudoephedrine in India and trafficked it to Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. NCB Deputy Director General (operations) Gyaneshwar Singh told reporters here that Sadiq’s linkages with the film industry, some “high-profile” people apart from some instances of “political funding”, were under the scanner of the agency. Sources told PTI that a high-profile DMK leader could soon be summoned by the NCB for questioning with regard to monetary transactions worth a few lakhs of rupees. “We will intensely investigate the drug money trail in this case,” the DDG said when asked if any political persons were under the scanner of the agency.
