Mumbai: Man Arrested For Selling Cannabis To School-Children
Mumbai, 23rd February 2023: In Dahisar, a man was detained on suspicion of selling marijuana to schoolchildren. The suspect, Rajesh Khandekar, was apprehended while waiting for a few class 10 children to buy marijuana from him outside a school in Dahisar. According to reports, the cops found cannabis worth Rs 2,500 on him.
Senior police inspector Sudhir Kudalkar of the MHB Colony police station claims that on 17th February, they got a tip that a man had been peddling drugs to schoolchildren in Borivali and Dahisar.
By posing as customers at a grocery store or people waiting for a bus at a nearby bus stop, they set up traps outside several neighbouring schools for three days, but they were unable to find Khandekar.
After a Dahisar-based school had finished for the day and several children were leaving the school grounds on Monday at approximately 3 p.m., the police team waiting outside noticed a man trying to chat with a few class 10 students.
The squad stopped the man on suspicion since he didn’t resemble any of the schoolchildren’s parents. The police searched Khandekar and discovered 210 grams of marijuana in his pocket.
Khadekar was detained for narcotics possession and dealing with students.
