KOZHIKODE: Excise Crime Branch arrested Seema Sinha, a native of Bihar, in a case of financial transactions related to the sale of drugs, including MDMA, in Kerala. Seema was arrested by the police from Gurugram two weeks ago for making financial transactions in a drug-related case at Thrissur East Police Station. Seema is currently remanded in the Thrissur Women's Jail in this case. The arrest was recorded by a team led by Crime Branch Excise CI P. Junaid.
The investigation team reached Seema after Fasir, a native of Ramanattukara, Kozhikode, was caught at the Muthanga excise check post with 98 grams of MDMA. Abdul Gafoor, a native of Puthoormadam, Pantheerankavu, Kozhikode, was arrested along with Fasir for organising the MDMA from Bengaluru and sending the money to Seema's account. The duo confessed that the money was transferred to the account as per instructions from Prajeesh, a native of Karuvanthuruthy, Kozhikode. It was how the investigation reached Seema.
Seema used to forge documents and open bank accounts with temporary addresses and then conduct financial transactions for illegal drug trade. Nigerian nationals were also part of the cabal. The excise team found that crores of rupees were transferred to Seema's eight bank accounts in a span of just a few days.
