Ahmedabad: Gandhinagar Police Special Operations Group (SOG) on Monday arrested another person, Nikol, for his alleged involvement in the cannabis infused cookies case.
Police said the third accused, Rushabh Vaishnav25 years old, used to deliver cannabis cookies and was employed by the main defendant, Jaykishan Thakor28 years old, owner of the Chicken Chulha restaurant in Adalajand his friend Ankit Kulhari, 26. Thakor and Kulhari were arrested by ATS after Saturday’s raid.
On Saturday evening, the ATS raided the restaurant in the village of Bhat in Gandhinagar and recovered the biscuits and 16 units of pure extracts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the main ingredient of cannabis, and CBD (cannabidiol), a compound present in cannabis. plant. The narcotic substances weighed 294.5 g and were worth Rs 41,000.
Gandhinagar police officers said they would also track down consumers, who are mainly from Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar. “The drug users might not be the defendants, but they would certainly be the approvers in the case,” the officer said.
Police sources said the defendants had been involved in the narcotics business for at least four months. The duo reportedly got most of the cookies made in Himachal Pradesh.
Rather than pouring butter into the dough for the cookies, the two reportedly put cannabis oil in it.
The cookies appeared normal and raised no suspicion, cops said. These were sold for between Rs 4,000 and Rs 20,000, a police officer said.
ATS officers said the case was possibly the first of its kind in the city and among the few in India.
In June 2021, the Narcotics Control Bureau had busted a gang involved in selling weed or marijuana brownies to Malad in Mumbai.
