The Judicial First Class Magistrate Court 1 in Kochi on Wednesday sent Midhun C.Vilasan alias DJ Kokaachi, arrested in connection with the drug seizure at a DJ party in Kochi, to police custody till June 1.
Commenting on the case, Harisankar, deputy commissioner of police, Kochi, said the focus of the probe would be now to trace the person who supplied narcotics to the accused. “During preliminary investigations, Midhun named a few persons as his customers, which include some well-known figures from the film industry. Efforts will be also made to collect evidences and corroborate their involvement in the racket’’, the official said. The police will also be investigating the role of a popular film producer, whose name figured in similar cases more than once. The official, however, denied the possibility of interrogating them at this stage, pointing out the need to collect more evidence against him.
Meanwhile, sources also hinted at the possibility of taking him to Goa for collecting evidence on his alleged links with the drug rackets there. Midhun was arrested on Tuesday based on the information the police got while interrogating those arrested earlier.
