Mangaluru Police have arrested 26-year-old Abul Faisal M, a key figure in an international drug trafficking network. Faisal, a resident of Hothangadi House, Kadambar, in Kasaragod district, Kerala, was apprehended on March 15 during an extensive crackdown on criminal activities in the region.
During his arrest, the authorities seized a pistol, six live rounds of ammunition, a mobile phone, and Rs2.1 lakh in cash. Preliminary investigations indicate that Faisal was involved in the distribution of MDMA, and he has connections with a larger drug syndicate operating across multiple states.
Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Anupam Agarwal, emphasized that efforts to dismantle the criminal network would intensify, and additional arrests are anticipated in the near future. Faisal remains in police custody as investigations continue, with authorities working to identify other individuals involved in the trafficking operation.
