A police team arrested Labudu Ajit Kumar, reportedly the kingpin of the illicit drug trade in the State, from his hideout in the Eastern Ghats along the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border.
Authorities said Labudu Ajit Kumar had been masterminding the trafficking of narcotics, including hashish and ganja, into Kerala. The arrest was made possible with coordinated efforts from local police in the region, highlighting a major breakthrough in ongoing anti-narcotics operations.
Police confirmed that further investigation is underway to identify other associates in the trafficking network and trace the full supply chain of the seized contraband.
