Gurgaon: A Nigerian national residing in Delhi was arrested by Gurgaon police on Tuesday for allegedly supplying MDMA and OG cannabis to a local dealer. The development came after the interrogation of Gagan Dhawan, who was apprehended by the Sector 39 Crime Branch team of Gurgaon police on May 29 with 14 grams of MDMA and 110 grams of OG cannabis, classified as commercial quantities. A case was registered against him under relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Sector-50 police station.
Investigation Details
According to sources, Dhawan told police that he had been in touch with drug suppliers in Nigeria, who connected him with Martins Chike Okeke. He claimed that the seized MDMA and OG cannabis were given to him by Okeke, who lives in Mohan Garden Extension near Peeragarhi. Police said Okeke had come to India in 2014 on a business visa, and their investigation revealed that a case under the NDPS Act had been filed against him earlier as well.
Legal Proceedings
The police are now investigating the broader network of drug supply, with Okeke being a key link. The arrest highlights the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to curb the illegal drug trade in the region.
