The alleged drug dealer, a 44-year-old Goan was arrested a few metres away from the Sun Burn festival venue at Candolim in north Goa. Fifty tablets of ecstasy and MDMA, a psychotropic drug, were seized from him.
The girl from Delhi, who worked as a hospitality professional in Bangalore, died at the Sunburn music festival on Tuesday. Sources say she consumed a hallucinatory drug called Angel Dust, a powdered version of ecstacy, on Tuesday at around 4 pm. By about 7 pm she collapsed, while at the festival, and was hospitalised in a critical condition.
She died of a multi-organ failure.
