NAGPUR: Shivshankar Isampalli, 27, a dance teacher-turned-drug peddler from Hyderabad, was arrested near Panjari on Wardha road shortly after Saturday midnight for allegedly possessing more than 91kg marijuana, worth around Rs 14 lakh, in his car. He was heading to Delhi to deliver the narcotic consignment when intercepted.
Spotting cops, Isampalli tried to flee, but was nabbed by naik constable Manoj Shahu of Beltarodi police station after a chase.
Isampalli, a resident of Kukatpally, Hyderabad, was earning a monthly salary of Rs30,000 as a dance teacher at a reputed school in the city. It’s learnt that the art and students were central to the dance teacher’s life, until the lockdown left him bereft of his job.
