HYDERABAD: Sleuths of Telangana Prohibition and Excise department have a task at hand to get more leads into abuse of psychotropic drugs in Hyderabad: break into Dutch-national Mike Kammingha’s IPhone 7 and access data in it. Even ten days after nabbing the foreign national and having seized 2.5 gms of powerful hallucinogenic DMT, he remained uncooperative with the Excise officials.
Sources said that even on the second day of the interrogation, their questions to Mike did not yield any information. The responses remained the same.
However, it is learnt that Mike’s uncooperative responses are making the sleuths suspect that he might be holding some valuable information.“He said that he forgot password to his phone. This means that there might be some valuable leads,” sources said, adding that Mike said he did not give drugs to anybody and neither does he have any clientele base.
A team of the state Excise’s State Task Force caught Mike, a native of Rotterdamn, Netherlands on July 25 and seized around 2.6 gms of DMT. He used to live at a gated community in Nanakramguda where few film celebrities live and works as a software professional.Sources said that seizing the hallucinogenic drug is a strong evidence against him. “We will send his phone and other electronic devices to police so that the data in it can be accessed,” sources said.Officials from Hyderabad Police Central Crime Station (CCS) said they have devices and tools to extract data from all phones and laptops.
