Ads by Google The body of British teenager Scarlette Keeling was found on Goa's Anjuna beach two months ago. But after all the promises of a crackdown on drugs made by the Goa government and police, a CNN-IBN special investigation finds nothing really has changed. The team went undercover and got on camera peddlers at work, shack owners confessing to things being no different than the day the tragedy took place, policemen who have run out of ideas, and politicians who play to the galleries but strangely are not becoming agents of change So, what lies beyond these images of lazy sunbathing tourists? A CNN-IBN Special Investigation found Anjuna remains Goa's drug-den. At Ingo's night market at Parra, everyone points to Anjuna as being the state's drug den."You can get it at Anjuna," said a shopkeeper. Our decoy, a French lady, reaches Anjuna beach. Goa beaches are crawling with drug traffickers. If you are a foreigner, sooner or later, peddlers will approach you with drugs. Among the many shops, bars and shacks, we choose Roy's Palace. The owner approaches. Peddler: Hi. CNN-IBN: Hello. Peddler: How are you ? CNN-IBN: Fine...and you ? He reveals he can supply the team drugs. A deal is struck for 10 grams of hashish. "You can go ask the Kashmiri there, he will say 2,500. You go and ask right now. You come with me. I'll go further, you ask him - 'do you have some stuff'. He will say, yes, 2500," the peddler says. He also lets us know harder drugs are available. Pointing to a girl, he says, "That girl sitting there, she just took cocaine." The next day, the SIT gives him a shopping list. Peddler: LSD, cocaine, what do you want? CNN-IBN: Just give me the prices. Peddler: Two minutes, just give me 2 minutes CNN-IBN: Ok. Minutes later, he returns with the price list. Peddler: Eight and five, (Rs) 800 each for Ecstasy and (Rs) 500 for LSD. CNN-IBN: And cocaine you said was 3.5? But this peddler was at the bottom of the drug supply chain. So SIT decided to move up the ladder. Outside Paradiso, a popular nightclub in Anjuna, the team was told to meet a dealer named Daniel. CNN-IBN: You have ecstasy ? Daniel: Ya ! Ecstasy, cocaine, MDMA, LSD. CNN-IBN: How much is it ? Daniel: (Rs) 500 CNN-IBN: For one tablet ? Daniel: For one tablet. CNN-IBN: Cocaine, how much ? Daniel: (Rs) 3,500.
