Mangaluru: What so funny is that, when Robin Roy Menezes, aged 21, living in a apartment at Kadri Kambla road was busted by city cops for possessing a LSD (Lysergic Cocaine) sheet measuring 10×10″ worth Rs 10 lakhs, he was wearing a green colored T-shirt which had a saying, “I’ve Learned So Much From My Mistakes, I’m Thinking Of Making A Few More”– and I guess that adding to his past mistakes he did make one more big mistake by dealing drugs. I hope that Roy would at least now change his behavior after making this biggest and terrible mistake in his life.
According to Kadri Police personnel, based on a tip-off a police team from Kadri East Police station under the supervision of Reserve Police Inspector Raghavendra and Police Inspector TD Nagaraj raided an apartment on Kadri Kambla Rd in the city, and apprehended Robin Roy Menezes, who at the time of arrest had with him a sheet of LSD, which has a market value of over Rs 10 lakhs. Police also revealed that Menezes used to often travel to Kerala, Goa and Bengaluru to supply drugs to college students and other youngsters, and also to various pubs, and he has been in this drug trade for the last one-and-a-half years.
It is also learnt that Robin was getting the drugs from a Austrian friend, and although he was studying German in a institute in Bengaluru, Robin made frequent visits to Mangaluru and other cities to carry out the illegal trade. About LSD is that, it is smeared on a paper, dried, and cut into small bits and then sold to the buyers- the price for each bit of paper will cost around Rs 1000-1500. Most of LSD users are college students, and youth- and the place where LSD is sold most are pubs/bars.
Police have also got leads about the person in Goa who has been supplying drugs to Robin, and they are further investigating the case. A case has also been registered against the culprit.
