A report in Republic suggests that Showik met drug peddler Abdul Basit Parihar at a football club in Bandra and they became very good friends. He was then introduced to Kaizan Ibraham. Names of drug peddlers like Sohail have also come to light. It is reported that Sohail was the one who provided Showik with 'buds'. The report further suggests that Showik along with Basit, Zaid, Kaizan, Karan and Abbas purchased buds and sold them off with high margins. The alleged drug peddlers tried to sell the buds at a football club, says the report in Republic. Sources have also informed the news channel that Showik and others did dealing in 'buds' and not local weed. Buds have 28% to 35% THC which makes it very potent and lethal.
