Mangaluru: What so funny is that, when Robin Roy Menezes, aged 21, living in a apartment at Kadri Kambla road was busted by city cops for possessing a LSD (Lysergic Cocaine) sheet measuring 10×10″ worth Rs 10 lakhs, he was wearing a green colored T-shirt which had a saying, “I’ve Learned So Much From My Mistakes, I’m Thinking Of Making A Few More”– and I guess that adding to his past mistakes he did make one more big mistake by dealing drugs. I hope that Roy would at least now change his behavior after making this biggest and terrible mistake in his life.

It is also learnt that Robin was getting the drugs from a Austrian friend, and although he was studying German in a institute in Bengaluru, Robin made frequent visits to Mangaluru and other cities to carry out the illegal trade. About LSD is that, it is smeared on a paper, dried, and cut into small bits and then sold to the buyers- the price for each bit of paper will cost around Rs 1000-1500. Most of LSD users are college students, and youth- and the place where LSD is sold most are pubs/bars.

Police have also got leads about the person in Goa who has been supplying drugs to Robin, and they are further investigating the case. A case has also been registered against the culprit.

  1. Alfie,I was at the station when Inspector Nagaraj arrived with this young man. I was stunned to read the Logo on Roy’s Tee Shirt. He did not learn a bit instead ended up in Prison. I was thinking that this young man was brought in for some minor mistake. But when Police man told me about this young man I was speechless. At the age of 21,He was dealing in LSD through a Austrian in Goa. What a daring boy He should be.
    Mr. Naresh Manipady, Your suggestion is good but Roy had to find a Honest Person to confess. Most of them are sinners themselves and cheaters too. It is like Sinners dealing with Sinners in God’s name.
