Port Blair, Mar 17: The CCS unit of Andaman and Nicobar Police yesterday arrested three cops, who were allegedly trying to sell highly addictive drugs at Phoenix Bay area of Port Blair.
According to reports all three cops of constable rank had obtained these drugs from some friend in Car Nicobar, where these drug packages had washed ashore, across the beaches of Mus to Malacca villages, several weeks back.
It is believed that all these packets contained highly addictive and powerful drug Methamphetamine, however confirmation on the name of drug is still waited.
Sources said that the fourth partner at Car Nicobar might had obtained this drug somehow and sent to Port Blair for selling the same.
Meanwhile, the police department is tight lipped in this case and is not revealing the names of the accused. However, Andaman Sheekha has information that two cops out of three are posted at GO’s mess and the other one from Fire Services. Further details are awaited.
As mentioned, Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Also known as meth, blue, ice, and crystal, among many other terms, it takes the form of a white, odorless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder that easily dissolves in water or alcohol.
According reports in international media Myanmar has become the world’s biggest meth producer and these packets might have reached Car Nicobar Shores from some drug running vessels of Myanmar.
