New Delhi, Nov 7: The Delhi police on Monday claimed to have arrested two persons for procuring drugs over the Internet. The police said that the accused bought the drug “Ecstasy” using Bitcoins. The police has recovered 42 grams of fine quality Ecstasy tablets and 20 grams of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) from the accused which were to be supplied to rave parties in Delhi-NCR.

Senior police officers said they suspect there is a large nexus involving people who physically supply these drugs.

Also known as Love Pill, Ecstasy is a recreational drug. It heightens perceptions of colour and sound and supposedly amplifies sensations when one touches or caresses another, particularly during sex. It often contains hallucinogens — drugs that act on the mind and cause people to see or feel things that are not really there.

The senior police officer said that on October 29, the sleuths of the narcotics cell received a tip-off about a gang which supplies drug to rave parties. Based on the tip-off, Kamal Kalra, a DJ, was arrested from Rohini Sector 13.

During investigation, Kalra disclosed that he had procured the contraband from a supplier over the phone. Based on the call records, the supplier, identified as Mahesh Goyal, was arrested from Dwarka.

When both the accused were interrogated at length, they revealed that psychotropic substances like LSD, MMDA, MDA, ketamine, methamphetamine, and amphetamines are widely used in rave parties.

Goyal disclosed that his first encounter with Ecstasy was in Chennai, where he attended a party. There he got to know that these psychotropic drugs can be easily bought online. He also informed police that these illegal drugs can be purchased using Bitcoins. The police added that it is getting in touch with the ministry of information technology to put a stop on these transactions.
