According to Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda, the drugs were brought to the city from Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. "The main accused is from Kerala and is listed as a wanted criminal there," he said.
Some six months back, the man from Kerala came to Bengaluru and lured the car driver to be his accomplice in drug trade. The driver, along with his wife, accompanied the man to Andhra Pradesh to procure the drugs and bring them to Bengaluru for sale, said police. However, their attempt was foiled when the car loaded with drugs was busted by the police.
