A student of Hindu College identified as Gaurav came under the scrutiny of Delhi's NCB, post which the agency discovered that the former was the kingpin sourcing cannabis from Himachal Pradesh along with the three others identified as Aniruddh Mathur, Tenzin Phunchog and Sam Mallick— who then smuggled it to the students in the national capital.
"Mathur, Phunchog and Mallick are all users of charas and used to get it from Gaurav. They have given information about drug peddlers and others involved in the racket which is being further verified," Jha asserted.
