It all started during Ranga Rachappa’s academic days when someone asked him to get ganja (cannabis) from his native Pushpapura village in Chamrajnagar district. At that time Rachappa did that work due to lack of information about it. However, while in 2011 he came to Bengaluru, after studying up to Class 10 and saw that his fortunes started taking an upturn with this illegal offer. Soon after that, he started peddling drugs in a big way and had also recruited youngsters as agents to do his work. Drug peddling started giving him much money, so in 2013, he quit his job as a day construction labourer and went full-time into drugs.
