    In India such people when caught will come out on bail in a very short time..
    Many countries give maximum sentence when caught red-handed like this one.
    What more proof our Indian Police need or our courts need?

    To catch the kingpin, our police have to go to Pakistan and I don't think it's possible.

    OMGit is now time to put a border to Puttur or Kasargod ,so that Mangalore remains bit clean and in its origin.From where this Money is coming either in foreign currency or Indian currency and Heroin development is fast marching.In the future they( Police) should give some prize to who give them a hint about such activities.Police should have seized his mobile also to find out his deliveries and origin.By now he must have informed all his Clients and Boss and others.They are Spoiling our children.

    Good job by Police ,but it was a tip off because the person who gave information was not happy with his share or got his share & put the guy behind bars.
    The guy who is caught seems to be happy no tensions or any regret expression on his face.
