We are working on getting further details about the entire operation,” said an ANC officer. “Dawood Ibrahim’s nephew Sohail has already been arrested by the US for trying to sell drugs. Dola has worked with the Mirchi gang and we suspect he is again working for the D-Company (Dawood gang). We know he was taking orders from an Indian,” said the ANC officer.
As for the current fentanyl raid, DCP Shivdeep Lande of ANC said, “We are in the process of raiding and finding the unit in Gujarat from where the consignment came but it’s a technical process and will take some time.” In the meantime, Dola is being interrogated but the police said that he is not cooperating.

The effects of fentanyl have made the drug notorious as ‘horror drug’ as its effects last for hours. It is known by several names across the world.
