"They are the ones who are giving inputs, where substances are stocked up or dropped by various gangs. In this vicious circle of drug smuggling, consumers invariably become drug peddlers also, therefore, these people have information about such large stocks being unloaded in the city," he explained.
The police has registered a case and an investigation is continuing.
