Anuj, who was addicted to mephedrone (MD) powder, left a suicide note stating that the accused Sohail Idris Mirza made him a drug addict. Later, Sohail himself started selling him MD powder. As a result, he was debt-ridden due to this habit and was being harassed by Sohail for money. Moreover, Sohail started coming to his house and threatened him of dire consequences if he failed to give him the drug money.
On the basis of a complaint lodged by deceased’s brother Sarthak and the suicide note, police registered a case under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code against the drug peddler Sohail. Further investigations are underway.
