Earlier, a man in Pune, who was accused in a drug peddling case, collapsed and died of a heart attack when the police reached his residence to apprehend him. The deceased has been identified as Samyuddin Sayad (42) of Nana Peth.
Acting on a tip-off, a team from Samarth police station laid a trap and saw Sayad handing over a drug packet to a delivery boy at his home premises. The cops swiftly entered his house to arrest him. Upon seeing the police, Sayad became distressed and collapsed.
