UP Drug Syndicate Kingpin Builds Secret Basement At Home, Uses It To Flee During Raid

A kingpin of a drug syndicate used a secret basement at his residence in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut to flee the police during a raid on Friday. Taslim, who has more than 70 cases registered against him, built the basement to store the drug consignments. NDTV visited the site, which was built about 15 feet below the ground, and found out that Taslim kept dozens of chairs and carpets used for wedding decoration in the basement. He reportedly used them to cover the drug consignments. His son and a close aide were arrested with drugs a day before the police raided his residence.
