Cocaine racket gets CCS burial

All four cocaine cases have been transferred to the Central Crime Station thus paving the way for a quiet burial. With the CCS already sitting on several major cases, the move to transfer the recent cocaine cases is being seen as a hush-up attempt.

Despite the call logs revealing the connection between Nigerian and Ugandan drug peddlers with Tollywood stars, sons of MPs and VIPs — cops are allegedly under pressure not to go ahead with the investigation.

The CCS is already dealing with the first case of the two Ugandan nationals, Patrick Emario and Ayebare Donald and since their arrest on July 21 there has been no progress in the case. The CCS has also been sitting on the Maytas Hill County case which was booked in June 2009. It has also not made any headway into the passport scam in the human trafficking case involving MPs.

An official of the state police headquarters said, “The Task Force police led by Mr Kamalasan Reddy and the West Zone police lead by Mr Stephen Ravindra have earned praise for doing a good job on the drug cases. Don’t know why the case has been given to the CCS at this juncture when the West Zone police were working seriously on unearthing the racket.” “The police are busy with the Ganesh festival security arrangements. So it will be difficult for them to handle the cocaine case,” A.K. Khan said
