Shahzad agreed with Polad Agayev on helping him to sell the drugs to be brought from Iran to Azerbaijan. Agayev promised to buy 60kg 287.7gr hashish for $5000 near Jafarli village of Jalilabad region, and deliver it to Mirkhalig and Elnur Vezirovs. According to the agreement, Shahzad crossed the border out of customs control near Jafarli village on February 24 this year and delivered the drug to Agayev near the cemetery. Agayev took the drug to Jalilabad by horse and rang Vezirovs to deliver it. They met at the arranged place but Vezirovs didnâ€™t take the drug suspecting of the cars around. They agreed to meet next day. Mirkhalig Vezirov met Gurbetov immediately and told him he couldnâ€™t take the drug from Agayev.
