The Washermenpet Police have made significant arrests in a major drug smuggling operation, seizing methamphetamine and apprehending key suspects involved in the illegal trade. On Wednesday, two individuals and a police constable were arrested in connection with the case, with authorities continuing their search for two more suspects.
The police constable, Arunpandian, has been identified as one of the main suppliers of methamphetamine to the prime accused. This shocking development has raised serious concerns about internal corruption within the police force, as the constable was allegedly involved in facilitating the illegal distribution of drugs.
The investigation was launched after the police received credible information regarding the smuggling of methamphetamine in Washermenpet, a locality known for its bustling markets and residential areas. The arrested individuals, whose identities have not been fully disclosed, are believed to have played significant roles in transporting and selling the narcotic.
The police team, led by senior officers from Washermenpet Police Station, has recovered substantial quantities of methamphetamine and is working to trace the remaining fugitives involved in the operation. Authorities have emphasized that the arrest of a serving police constable in this case highlights the depth of corruption and criminal activity within the network.
Further investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of the smuggling ring and to identify any other law enforcement officers or civilians involved in the operation.
