"Shaju had received drugs in the past at different places in Delhi from different intermediaries and had supplied these consignments in Kerala to different people on Jabbar's instructions," the official said. Firozuddin told police that he had started mobile repair work and shifted to dealing in scrap articles. "About four years ago, he came in contact with a man named Naushad who offered him to sell cannabis in lieu of commission.

For every successful delivery, he was promised $200," the official said.
