BENGALURU: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has taken a pivotal move in the Bengaluru drug case. The NCB has taken Bineesh Kodiyeri into custody. He has been taken to their office for interrogation. They took him into custody after filing a plea in the sessions court.

NCB’s lawyer approached the court yesterday seeking his custody. The officials of the NCB reached Parappana Agrahara jail two hours back and took him into their office. The NCB had been waiting for him for so long because of the extension of the enforcement custody period. After questioning him, a decision will be taken on further steps to be taken against him.

Airline company employee Sonnet Lobo had told ED that Bineesh had used cocaine along with Anoop Muhammed at the Royal Suite Apartments in Kalyan Nagar, Bengaluru. Anoop and Sonnet were staying in room no 205 and 206. Bineesh had visited them and had used cocaine along with Anoop. ED had informed this to the court. A probe will be conducted on it as he has been taken into custody.
