Indore police confiscated MD drugs valued at about ₹25.9 lakh and arrested a young man suspected of smuggling them, who was found hiding the narcotics near a petrol tank.
Indore police announced the seizure of MD (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) narcotics estimated at a street value of ₹25.9 lakh. The operation was carried out after intelligence inputs pointed to a small-scale smuggling network operating in the city.
Investigators detained a young male suspect during a raid near a petrol pump, where the drugs were concealed close to a fuel tank. The arrest was made without incident, and the seized quantity has been forwarded to the forensic laboratory for verification.
Authorities said the case underscores ongoing efforts to curb the illegal drug trade in Madhya Pradesh. The police have launched a broader probe to identify any additional links to the supply chain and will pursue further legal action against those involved.
The seized amount, when converted, reflects a significant financial loss for the traffickers, highlighting the effectiveness of coordinated police action in the region.
