ALTERNATIVE THERAPY BOSS FACES INDIA TRIAL OVER £4.8M DRUG HAUL

AN elderly shop boss who sells trendy alternative medicines is accused of being part of a £4.8million international drugs racket.

Police believe Praveen Arora's business was used to smuggle prescription-only painkillers hidden among legitimate herbal therapies.

The 74-year-old faces extradition to India where he could receive a maximum 20 years in jail if convicted.

His son Puneet is said to already be in custody in India accused of sourcing the drugs and helping to organise their export to the UK.
