Multiple accused in the NESCO drug overdose death case have approached the sessions court seeking bail, even as investigators intensify their probe into what they describe as a “spider-web-like” drug syndicate operating across the MMR.

One of the key accused — identified as Accused No. 1, a student — has filed a bail plea after being remanded to judicial custody along with four others. The application is likely to come up for hearing today, with the sessions court seeking a response from the Vanrai police.
