Mumbai, Apr 28 (IBNS) Former Bollywood heroine Mamta Kulkarni's husband Vicky Goswami has been accused of running a cartel to smuggle drugs from Mumbai to USA via Kenya where he is also based, according to media reports.
According an NDTV report, a raid in a pharmaceutical factory in Thane led to recovery of 20,000 kg of substance which is worth Rs 2000 crore in market.
A DNA report said Vicky Goswami, the alleged kingpin, is out on bail after he was arrested by the Kenyan police while Mumbai police held eight so far including a Nigerian.
The Indian police acted on a tip off from the US Drug Enforcement Agency.

Media reports said Vicky Goswami is a notorious drug lord wanted by the US for running the international racket.
