The CCB has arrested a techie allegedly involved in drug trade, seizing Ecstasy drugs, chemical oil pills (MDMA) and LSD strips worth a few lakhs from his residence in HSR Layout during a raid.

The accused Saarthak Arya (32) was living abroad for several years and had recently returned from Belgium.

A senior officer said police seized a courier dispatched from Chamarajpet based on a tip-off and tracked down the accused after examining the packet.

Arya was sacked from his job with a private company after police informed them about his activities.
