Two Arrested with 57kg Mephedrone in Pune’s Nana Peth

In a major anti-narcotics operation, Pune police arrested two individuals and seized 57 kilograms of mephedrone (MD), a banned synthetic drug, worth approximately Rs11.40 lakh from the Nana Peth area.

Acting on a tip-off, the Anti-Narcotics Cell 2 team—led by Inspector Sudarshan Gaikwad and Assistant Inspector Nitin Kumar Naik—intercepted the suspects during a routine patrol on Monday. The large quantity of the synthetic drug was found in their possession and immediately seized.

The accused were booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, and a formal investigation is underway to determine the source and intended distribution of the contraband.

This successful bust forms part of Pune police’s ongoing crackdown on drug peddling in the region.
