Bengaluru, Nov 10: The CCB sleuths have arrested a former BPO professional for selling banned narcotic substances through Facebook.

The arrested is Sushil Kumar Moosad, 34, a resident of Ramamurthynagar. The police seized six LSD blotter papers, one kg ganja, a mobile phone and Rs 30,000 from him.
Sushil had opened a Facebook page named Bangalore Cannabis to contact customers and sell the banned substances. He had given a contact number on the page and would supply banned substances when customers contacted him.

He had a few African sources in Hennur, Ramamurthynagar, KR Puram and Bagalur to procure the substances, mainly LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) blotter papers. He would procure ganja from Kolar, Hoskote and some North-East states, police said.

“There are several persons who are using Facebook and other social media to sell narcotics. The police will keep a close watch on social media platforms to curb such activities,” said a senior police officer.

Sushil had earlier worked in the telebanking section of Mphasis company and then as an account receivable associate with Dell company. He quit Dell in 2013 and was unemployed ever since, police said. Sushil, the elder son of a retired captain of the Indian Army, hails from Kerala. His family moved to Bengaluru long ago. He completed PUC as an external candidate and joined Mphasis thereafter, police said.

He took to drugs when he was just 18, after his attempt to win over a girl failed. He would fix a particular location and time for customers to meet him, police said.
Sushil would pack 25 gm of ganja, LSD blotter paper in small sachets for sale. He would sell the ganja sachets at a cost of Rs 500 to Rs 2.000 each. He would sell one LSD blotter paper for Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000.

He used to buy the narcotics for personal consumption. But he charged more when he sold them to meet his financial requirements. Sushil would charge more for the ganja grown in the Himalayan region, which is of higher quality, police said.

Sushil’s mother is a homemaker, while his brother, the sole breadwinner of the family, works for a software firm.

He often fought with his family members, who had approached the Ramamurthynagar police in a few instances.
