In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, police in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city seized 2.4 kg of mephedrone and arrested three individuals involved in the operation. The discovery was made on June 21, when authorities found suspicious white powder in trucks transporting scrap in the Sajapur area.
Following this, a raid on a godown owned by one of the suspects uncovered further quantities of the drug. The seized substance was confirmed as mephedrone through a drug identification kit.
The arrested suspects include Safikur Rehman (45) and Raj Ajure (38), both from Uttar Pradesh, along with godown owner Baban Khan. All three face charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The investigation is ongoing.
