In the era of apps and social networking, everything can be sold online, including drugs. A former software professional has been arrested for hawking marijuana and other psychedelics through a Facebook page.

Started in July, not only does the page offer magic mushrooms (Rs. 1,000), marijuana (Rs. 3,000 which are apparently got from Shivamogga) and LSD (acid blots at Rs. 2,000), but it also contains a phone number, an address as well as pictures of the seller, 34-year-old Sushil Kumar Moosad, smoking the prohibited contraband. While nearly 84 people in the city have subscribed to the page so far, Mr. Moosad was also hawking obtained drugs through his personal facebook account.

Jotting down all these details, sleuths of the Women and Narcotics squad of the Central Crime Branch raided a house in Ramamurthy Nagar. Six LSD blotters worth Rs. 30,000 and 1.1 kg of Marijuana were seized from Mr. Moosad, who had been reportedly been trading the psychedelics for over 16 years.
