The accused were identified as Nikhil, Mukesh from Mandsaur, and Kamlesh from Rajasthan. Police intercepted them on MR-4 Road as they attempted to flee, leading to the swift seizure of the contraband.
DCP Rajesh Kumar Tripathi stated that the MD drugs seized are valued at approximately Rs 1 crore on the street. The arrest comes under directives issued by the Chief Minister to crack down on narcotics trafficking in the region.
A case under the NDPS Act has been registered, and authorities are working to trace the broader network involved in the illegal drug trade.
