**Mumbai Police Nab Key Drug Supplier Tony Sebastian at Indo-Nepal Border**
The Worli Unit of the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) has apprehended Tony Sebastian (34), a wanted accused and key drug supplier, from the Indo-Nepal border. Sebastian, who had been absconding abroad, was produced before the Esplanade Court today and remanded to police custody until September 23.
This arrest is linked to a major seizure of 3.55 kg of hydroponic cannabis worth ₹3.55 crore, filed under sections 8(c), 20(b), and 29 of the NDPS Act.
Earlier in May, the ANC Worli Unit arrested Vinayak Laxman Mundekar (28), a resident of Ulwe, Navi Mumbai. Mundekar was intercepted by police patrols near Vidyadhar Hall, Veer Savarkar Road, Dadar West, where high-grade contraband was found in his possession. During custody, Mundekar confessed that the drugs were supplied to him by Tony Sebastian.
Tony Sebastian, originally from Matunga Labour Camp but previously residing in Thailand, was traced through a technical investigation based on his phone number, which confirmed his presence abroad.
On September 16, a police team led by API Amol Kadam intercepted Sebastian at Sonauli, Indo-Nepal Border, Uttar Pradesh. He was taken into custody with assistance from the local Sonauli Police Station, Maharajganj district, on transit remand and subsequently brought to Mumbai.
Ongoing investigations have confirmed Sebastian as the main supplier of hydroponic cannabis to Mundekar. The police have invoked Section 29 of the NDPS Act (criminal conspiracy), strengthening the case against him.
This arrest marks a significant breakthrough in Mumbai Police’s crackdown on high-value drug trafficking networks with international links.
