Kurukshetra, May 19
The CIA-1 police arrested a man and recovered 110-kg chura post and 2-kg opium from his possession in Kurukshetra on Saturday.
The accused has been identified as Premvan (in his 50s), a resident of Pali district in Rajasthan. He is a former international volleyball player and has also worked in the Army. He is currently working as an engineer at a refinery in Panipat.
Premvan used to bring drugs from Rajasthan on cheaper rates and sell it in Haryana and Punjab. He was arrested after a tip-off that a man was travelling in a car with a huge quantity of drugs.
Following the information, the police set up a naka near the Bhakra bridge and arrested Premvan.
Sources said during preliminary investigation, the former international player had said he was under debt as he had got his daughters married and in order to pay it off, he was supplying drugs for the past four months.
A case has been registered against him under Sections 15 and 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. — TNS
