Son of Alleged Drug Syndicate Leader Arrested in Rs 13,000 Crore Case After Dubai Return
Rishabh Basoya, son of alleged drug syndicate leader Virendra Basoya, was arrested by Delhi Police after returning from Dubai following a court order suspending his Red Corner Notice. He is being questioned in connection with a Rs 13,000-crore drug smuggling case involving large cocaine shipments. While police allege his involvement in the network, his lawyer contends he is implicated solely due to his relation to Virendra Basoya, who was recently deported from the UAE and arrested by Indian authorities.
