CHANDIGARH – The Indo-Canadian man arrested by police in Punjab has begun naming names, according to police sources.
The interrogation of the main accused Davinder Singh Nirwal, alias Dev who has been identified as a Canadian from Toronto, has named three drug lords, operating from UP, Madhya Pradesh and Kolkata in the FIR.
Nirwal has led the police to unravel a major network involving multiple suspects spread across various states.
The state police are coordinating with their counterparts in UP, MP and West Bengal to nab the suspects, identified as Alfaz, Ghanshyam and Belal, a spokesperson said on Wednesday, adding that a manhunt had been launched for the trio.
Initial investigations have helped the police trace Dev’s drug links to Alfaz, Ganshyam and Belala, a big supplier of narcotics. Dev and Ajit had flown to Kolkata from Delhi a few months ago to strike a deal for 15 kg of opium with Belal. Subsequently, Dev had sent his co-accused Ajit to Kolkata to bring the consignment to Punjab, said the spokesperson.
