Meanwhile, six more persons who were arrested in Dubai along with Madush were deported and held by the CID and the State Intelligence Service yesterday (17).

 

Accordingly, 21 persons arrested with Madush have been deported from Dubai so far.

 

Out of this total, 8 individuals were released after extensive questioning, while the notorious drug dealer ‘Kanjipani Imran’ is being interrogated under detention orders.
