New Delhi – The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Mohammad Anoop, a key facilitator of the Bangalore-based drug trafficking ring, a few days back. His information also mentions Binesh, the son of Marxist Communist Party leader and actor Kodiyari Balakrishnan in Kerala. Mohammad had borrowed money from Binesh in 2015 to rent a place in Kammanhalli, Bengaluru.
