According to the prosecution, Khemlani received a huge amount from his brother Nitesh, another key accused, and the money was spent on buying 4,000 MDMA pills overseas.
Pandey had sought pills following demand from his peers and had even received money from them to arrange the contraband, the prosecution argued.
He also distributed the pills to Khandelwal and others, it claimed, adding that the latter further passed on the drugs.
In his defence, Khemlani said he had been unemployed for the past four to five years and had been using his wife’s bank account during this period.
