Mumbai: The Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Sunday arrested an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the Jammu & Kashmir cadre with around 12 kg heroin, a top official said.
Shajji Mohan was nabbed early on Sunday with the drug consignment, estimated to be worth over Rs 120 million in the open market from an undisclosed location in Oshiwara, a north-west Mumbai suburb, ATS chief KP Raghuvanshi said.
The tip-off leading to his arrest was given by a former constable, who had also been arrested in a narcotics case earlier, the official said.
Belonging to the IPS batch of 1993 in the Jammu and Kashmir cadre, Mohan holds a senior charge in the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and had been posted to the NCB zonal unit, Chandigarh. He was transferred recently to Mumbai in the NCB.
