Mohali, March 9
The Additional District and Session Judge, Mohali, today awarded 10-year jail to three persons, including two Nigerians, for possessing 1.850 grams of heroin worth crores. The court also slapped a fine of Rs1 lakh each on the trio.
The Mohali police arrested David and Amninder Singh during a checking drive at a barricade in the city. The duo was coming in a car on August 20, 2018. During the checking of their car, the police had recovered one-kg heroin. A court sent them to four-day police remand. During investigation, the duo revealed the name of main drug supplier Kenneth Bosil operating from a restaurant in Delhi.
The Special Task Force carried out a raid on the restaurant and arrested Kenneth. It recovered 859 grams of heroin from his possession on August 23, 2020.
During interrogation, Kenneth Bosil revealed that he came to India about one and a half years ago. He was staying at Mohan Garden in New Delhi and was running a restaurant there. David and Amninder used to purchase heroin from Bosil, who used to cook food for Nigerian nationals in his restaurant. Bosil used to hold conversations with his customers through video calling or WhatsApp calling.
At the time of the arrest, Bosil did not possess visa for staying in India. The police also did not recover his passport. It remained mystery for the police authorities as to how he came to India without any legal documents.
