The Anti-Narcotics Cell of the Crime Branch in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has arrested Shahebaz Rais Shaikh, 24, and Shubham Ramesh Dere, 28, for selling nitrosun-10 tablets to the city's youth, according to police sources. Detained around midnight on Friday in an open ground near the Panchayat Samiti office, they were caught in the act of selling these narcotics.
A total of 110 tablets were seized during the operation. Shaikh and Dere, both residents of Shatabdi Nagar, are alleged to have procured the pills from Avesh Farukh Bagwan, a resident of Shatabdi Nagar and the primary supplier, who fled when confronted. The police team received intelligence about large-scale pill distribution in Salim Ali Sarovar, City Chowk, Ganesh Nagar, and Shatabdi Nagar.
Assistant Police Inspector Sachin Jadhav and Sub-Inspector Uttareshwar Munde acted on this information, leading to the arrest. Shubham Dere has a prior case registered under the POCSO Act, but this is Shahebaz's first appearance in police records. Police have traced the supply chain back to Surat, Gujarat, where Avesh is believed to be the main supplier.
