The Crime Branch arrested four individuals after uncovering a stash of more than 20,000 illegal tablets during a raid.
The Crime Branch carried out a coordinated operation that led to the arrest of four suspects and the seizure of over 20,000 illegal tablets. The raid, conducted in a covert manner, targeted a location suspected of being a hub for counterfeit pharmaceutical distribution. During the search, officers uncovered a large inventory of tablets that did not meet regulatory standards and were likely produced without proper licensing.
The seized tablets were found in multiple storage units, indicating a sizable supply chain. Authorities seized the entire stockpile and confiscated related documents and equipment used in the manufacturing process. The operation was part of an ongoing effort to curb the proliferation of counterfeit drugs in the market.
All four arrested individuals are currently in custody pending further investigation. Police officials have stated that they will be charged under relevant sections of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The case is expected to set a precedent for stricter enforcement against illegal pharmaceutical production.
The Crime Branch has urged the public to report any suspicious drug sales and has reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of consumers by dismantling illicit drug networks.
