An investigation is required to hunt for the culprits! You can’t just jump the gun and start arresting everyone around.

Lol. This is why intelligence units are needed. Eradication of drugs should be done by intelligence units with the help of stf. These jokers cannot withstand if the potential culprita start firing. Some guys think when they put the karkee suite all will surrender. Just overthinking idiots.
