Caught in the Party Web: From Dubai to Mumbai's Underworld

Mohammed Shaikh, recently deported from Dubai, is under Mumbai Police custody for his involvement in organizing lavish drug-fueled parties for film and fashion celebrities, alongside notorious figures. His arrest followed a massive mephedrone seizure, and authorities are probing deeper into this international narcotics network.

Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, recently deported from Dubai, has been arrested by Mumbai Police in connection with a drug trafficking case. Known for orchestrating extravagant parties attended by notable film and fashion personalities, Shaikh allegedly provided drugs to guests, including infamous underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim's nephew.

The Anti-Narcotics Cell is currently investigating possible connections with other drug traffickers who may have organized similar events for celebrities. Authorities have not ruled out the prospect of questioning the high-profile individuals named by Shaikh.

Shaikh, who was dubbed 'Lavish' due to his opulent lifestyle, was apprehended after a Rs 252 crore mephedrone bust in Maharashtra. His operation, linked to an international drug syndicate, has prompted further scrutiny following his deportation on a Red Corner Notice.
