Pune (Maharashtra) [India], August 10 (ANI): In a crackdown on drug trafficking, the Pune Police have uncovered a major drug racket in the Vishrantwadi area, seizing a substantial stash of MD (mephedrone) with a market value of over Rs 1 crore on Saturday.
Three young men, identified as Srinivas Godje, Rohit Bende, and Nimish Abhnave, have been arrested in connection with the case.
According to a press statement, “Acting on the tip-off from sources, the anti-narcotics unit of the Crime Branch conducted a raid at the Vighnaharta apartment complex in Lohegaon, resulting in the seizure of 471 grams of mephedrone.
