The accused, who are both Amblamogaru residents, are Sadakath U, also known as Shan Nawaz (age 31), and Mahammed Ashfaq, also known as Ashfa (age 25).
A digital scale, three cell phones, and Rs. 5560 in cash were also taken from the accused’s possession by the police in addition to the cocaine haul, which was estimated to be worth Rs. 4 lakh.
