Three individuals were detained in Tamil Nadu after authorities uncovered a scheme where a garment export firm was used as a front to supply MDMA to Kerala.
Tamil Nadu police arrested three suspects linked to a garment export company that was allegedly used as a front for drug trafficking.
Investigators revealed that the firm facilitated the movement of MDMA shipments destined for Kerala, disguising the drugs as legitimate export goods.
The arrests followed a sting operation that traced the drug supply chain from the garment exporter to the final destination in Kerala.
Officials say the case underscores the growing cross‑state drug trafficking networks that exploit legitimate businesses.
The investigation continues, with authorities probing the firm's operations and looking for additional suspects.
