They mainly sold the drugs in different areas of the capital including Gulshan, Banani and Banasree.
Emran was later handed over to Gulshan police.
In 2006, Emran was arrested in a drugs case filed under Banani police station. The case is under trial.
On December 19, 2002, the Narcotics Control Department recovered heroin, yaba and other banned drugs from a house in Gulsan's Niketan area. Four including Emran were arrested over the incident.
