Sources have identified the arrested suspects as Aftab Beg, Mohammad Ayan Hanif Sheikh, Arbaz Karim Turki, and Sherbane Mohammad Hasim Siddiqui.
An official stated that the Gaondevi Dongri area of Andheri is highly congested, making it difficult for vehicles to enter and due to this, drug peddlers have been selling drugs there without fear.
Upon receiving this information, Senior Police Officer Daya Nayak from Crime Branch Unit 9 sent his team to the location, where they conducted the raid and arrested the four suspects.
The police are further investigating the matter.
