Overview
- In Mukkam, Kerala's anti-narcotics squad arrested Mohammed Haneefa with over 500 grams of MDMA and, after questioning him, recovered about 2.3 kilograms from a rented house in Manassery.
- Officers described the seizure as one of the state's largest in recent times and said early findings indicate Haneefa acted as a wholesale supplier moving drugs into Kerala from New Delhi.
- A woman found at the Manassery house was detained for interrogation as investigators map contacts linked to the stash and check for more storage sites.
- In a separate case in Hyderabad, police arrested two men accused of street-level sales and seized 25.65 grams of MDMA at Nagole X Road under a case registered at the local station.
- Hyderabad investigators said the arrested sellers received supplies from contacts who procured the drug in Himachal Pradesh, who are now absconding as both probes continue under India’s NDPS narcotics law.
