The anti-money-laundering agency has been probing this drug trafficking and consumption case for the past four years after a high-end drugs cartel, supplying LSD and MDMA and other narcotics, was busted in 2017 by Telangana's Prohibition and Excise department.
The present case was lodged by the ED on the basis of that matter after it found that money of that drug cartel was laundered via various channels.
