The law enforcement officers said that Ibrahim Akasha, Vijayawada Goswami and Gulam Hussein could be linked to a container suspected to be having drugs.

The operation that saw the three arrested was led by Anti-Terror Police Unit boss Munga Nyale and top officers from Anti-narcotics and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

Cliff Ombeta, lawyer of the three suspects, said that the officers who raided Akasha's house were after Bakatsh Akasha.

“The officers were heavily armed and did not want to talk to anyone. They are looking for Baktash Akasha. We don't know where the other three are held," he said as quoted by the Star.
