Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A month ago, the drug factory in the city revealed the connection between the drug mafia in the state of Gujarat. Now again, a couple from Surat has come to light that they are supplying drugs and pills to criminals in the city. The suspects have been identified as Sheikh Asma and Sheikh Farhan.

According to police, crime branch PSI Vishal Bodkhe received information about the possession of drugs by notorious criminal Sheikh Nadeem Sheikh Naeem (30, Town Hall). On the instructions of crime branch inspector Sandeep Gurme, he laid a trap. At 2.30 pm the team entered his house directly. A search of the house revealed a stash of drugs in a traveling bag.
