Kochi: In a major anti-drug operation, Kochi City police arrested Sajith Venu (36) after seizing 176 grams of suspected MDMA, marking one of the largest synthetic drug recoveries in the city this year.
The arrest was made by the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) at the आरोपी’s residence on MLA Road in Panangad. Along with the drugs, officials recovered ₹1.02 lakh in cash, believed to be proceeds from drug sales.

Further investigation is underway to trace the source of the MDMA supply and identify potential links to a larger drug network.
