Showik’s drug dealer Zaid VIlatra had a kitchen /bakery and his brownies, cakes and snacks mixed with drugs were sold to college students. It is reported that the stuff is huge and cannot be hidden elsewhere so Zaid used this bakery for the purpose. The drug cartel which includes a film star allegedly supplied stuff to college students. Zaid has revealed the name of another person named Basit who was in contact with Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik. Earlier, the sources had said that Zaid knew Showik and supplied drugs to him but as per the latest inputs, Basit was a middleman and has been detained. Officials of the anti-narcotics agency recovered from Vilatra’s possession foreign currency (USD 2,081, 180 British Pound, 15 dirhams) and ₹ 9,55,750, which it said are “proceeds of drug peddling”.
“Vilatra disclosed that he runs an eatery in Bandra, which was not giving any pecuniary gains since the lockdown. He also disclosed that he peddles drugs, especially bud (curated marijuana), through which he used to earn a substantial amount of money,” the NCB told news agency PTI. According to sources in the agency, 20-year-old Vilatra allegedly supplied cannabis to Showik Chakraborty and Mr Rajput’s house manager Samuel Miranda, who were introduced to each by another middleman Abdel Basit Parihar, 23.
