Cocaine Trafficking: Adsu Interrogates Activist Nadeem Bheekun

On Thursday, April 30, the Anti-Drug Smuggling Unit in Rose-Belle conducted a monitored delivery operation. In the afternoon, undercover officers posing as customers parked in the D1 parking lot of Bagatelle, near the main entrance.

Shortly after, Ishraat Belal Juhoor, 35, a resident of Mamzelle Laure in Terre-Rouge, arrived and accepted the deal proposed by the undercover officers. Then Nadeem Ahmad Bheekun, 37, a resident of Camp Yoloff, arrived in a BMW to take delivery of 100 grams of cocaine.

Once the delivery was made, the Adsu officers revealed their identities and arrested Ishraat Belal Juhoor and Nadeem Ahmad Bheekun.

Nadeem Ahmad Bheekun attempted to flee but crashed into the front of an anti-drug brigade's SUV. The officers, who were present in numbers, handcuffed Nadeem Bheekun. He was later hospitalized while Ishraat Belal Juhoor was detained at Alcatraz. On Friday, May 1, he appeared in Weekend Court facing a provisional charge of "drug dealing with aggravating circumstances, namely possession of cocaine for the purpose of selling with an assertion of trafficking."

Defendant Nadeem Bheekun is no stranger to the police. He is among the suspects involved in the bloody altercation that resulted in the death of Goolam Khodabux, 60, in Camp Yoloff in May 2024.

He will appear before the court once he is discharged from the hospital. He has previously been noted as an anti-drug activist participating in various activities alongside social workers. At the end of February, he was on the front lines at the Rose Hill police station protesting against an alleged drug trafficker. The southern Anti-Drug Smuggling Unit continues its investigation.
