Drug queen made fast buck with cocaine and girls

NEW DELHI: When cops intercepted a red Hyundai on a Rajouri Garden road, little did they realize they would stumble upon a cache of drugs worth at least Rs 3 crore. And this was just the tip of the iceberg. When the inmates of the car - a suave woman and a smooth-talking businessman - began singing in custody, a high-profile sex-drug-and-betting racket was uncovered. The kingpin, Vimal Marwah, was a teacher with a public school in Punjab who took to crime after her husband abandoned her. And she was quick to strike a deal with a drug cartel and later extended her tentacles into flesh trade and also dabbled in gambling. Within a short time, she was zipping around the city in a fleet of luxury cars and hosting sleaze parties in India and abroad. She offered a unique package to her clients - cocaine and call girls. And she was much in demand at casinos and sex hubs of Nepal and Sri Lanka. But on Saturday, her dream run came to an end, hours before she was scheduled to fly to Colombo to host a party. "We received a tip-off that the accused were passing through Rajouri Garden to deliver cocaine to a client. We first nabbed her partner, Ajay Kalra, 41. Later, we arrested Vimal and the recipient of the consignment, Arun Gupta. We seized 275 gm of cocaine. Seven passports, air tickets of Sri Lankan Airline and 2 vehicles have also been seized," said Ashok Chand, DCP crime. The cocaine was procured from a Nigerian, who is on the run, police said.

A few years later, her husband dumped her and left for Mumbai. In 2004, she took to flesh trade was arrested two years later. Out on bail, she extended her business into drugs and gambling.
