KUALA LUMPUR - The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have denied claims that Malaysians are involved in drug trafficking activities in India following the arrest of a film producer in India who is allegedly involved in an international drug smuggling syndicate spanning several countries including Malaysia.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (JSJN) director Datuk Khaw Kok Chin, said investigations thus far have revealed no information linking the film producer with any Malaysian individuals involved in drug distribution activities in Malaysia.

"JSJN will continue its investigations to curb drug trafficking activities in Malaysia," he said in a statement today.

Earlier, an online news portal claimed that the boss of the ‘Índian drug lord’ who is a Malaysian film producer, has close associations with Tamil film industry celebrities and is currently residing in Malaysia.

This came following the arrest of a man by the Indian Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) last Saturday for allegedly being involved in an international drug syndicate valued at RM1.13 billion. - BERNAMA
