Mumbai Court Sends Two NESCO Drug Case Suspects to Fresh Police Custody

Police plan joint questioning to trace an alleged 4,000-pill ecstasy pipeline.

Overview

  • The Borivali court on Monday sent Vineet Gerelani and Ayush Sahitya to police custody until May 8, with alleged supplier Mahesh Khemlani in custody until May 6.
  • The case began after two MBA students reportedly died of an ecstasy overdose following an April 11 techno concert at the NESCO Centre in Goregaon East.
  • Investigators allege Khemlani sourced about 4,000 pills from abroad and routed supply through the duo, with only 935 pills traced and five seized at Gerelani’s home.
  • Police say the money trail includes QR code payments and transfers tied to accounts linked to the accused, including an Axis Bank account operated via Khemlani’s partner.
  • Officers seek face‑to‑face questioning after Khemlani told them he first met Sahitya in Thailand and later met both men in Goa, suggesting possible international links.
