Sigil Varghese and Vishnupriya came from Kerala to Bengaluru for their studies. Vishnupriya and her lover Sigil were both residents of Kothannur. They later rented a house and began working as tattoo artists. But slowly they were caught in drug addiction and wanted to lead a life of luxury. That's when they decided to sell drugs to maintain their high-profile lifestyle.

They have been involved in drug dealings since 2020, according to police. Drugs from Kerala and Coimbatore were sold to various prestigious college students in Bengaluru. The police reports claim that the drugs were brought to Bengaluru via Visakhapatnam. Vikram helped deliver them to their customers. Vikram was allegedly caught last Saturday in BTM Layout with 80 grams of hashish oil.
