Arrested BJP leader Pamela Goswami was escorted by a team of police officers on Sunday to a salon in New Town that she had apparently taken on rent to find more about her alleged drug deals.

Police sources said Pamela would meet her clients in the salon, located on the third floor of a mall, and strike deals on sale of banned drugs.

“We have learnt during investigation that Goswami had a number of clients, who would meet her in the New Town salon. Hence, it is important for us to visit the place and gather whatever evidence is available,” said a police officer.

Goswami, a secretary of the BJP Yuva Morcha, was arrested on Friday on the charge of carrying a white powdery substance that the police suspect was cocaine.

The police had intercepted her car on NR Avenue in New Alipore on Friday afternoon and allegedly seized 90 gram of suspected cocaine, worth around Rs 10 lakh in the grey market, from her handbag and the front seat of the car in which she, her friend

Prabir Kumar Dey and guard Somnath Chatterjee were travelling. Dey and Chatterjee were arrested along with Goswami.

The police team that visited the 1,300 square foot salon in New Town seized hard discs of CCTV footage of those who used to visit her. The sleuths had tried to enter the salon on Saturday, too, but could not because the keys were not found.

Goswami has alleged that her arrest was the result of a police conspiracy and raised the question why a fourth person in the car, who is “absconding”, was not arrested.

“(BJP leader) Rakesh Singh is behind this and it appears that a section of police officers is involved in a got-up case,” Goswami had said on Saturday evening during the trip to New Town.

“There was another person in the car, who is absconding. Why wasn’t he arrested?”

Singh, first named by Goswami when she was produced in a court on Saturday afternoon, has said that he has not been in contact with her for the last few years.

Senior officers from New Alipore police station said the entire event of intercepting the car and the arrest of the three had been captured on camera and there was no scope of any slip-ups.

“These are baseless allegations. We are now trying to find out if some more persons are involved in these drug dealings and whether they are from other states,” said a senior police officer.
