Three arrested in Udupi for MDMA and hydroponic ganja trafficking
By ETF Desk
In a recent police operation, three individuals were arrested in Udupi district for trafficking controlled substances.
The arrested men were found in possession of 47 packets of MDMA, along with 3 kilograms of hydroponically grown ganja which were being packaged for sale.
Authorities seized the drugs and held the suspects pending investigation, saying they were operating as part of a larger syndicate. The crackdown follows earlier discoveries of similar smuggling rings in the Narasannavi and Brahmavar areas. Local officials highlighted the importance of curbing such illicit trade for community safety.
Indian anti‑narcotics agencies have intensified efforts across Karnataka to curb drug supply. Police spokesperson said these arrests are a welcome step in the anti‑drug initiative. The operation is part of a broader national campaign.
Impact: The seizure removes a significant quantity of narcotics from the local market and serves as a deterrent to future trafficking. The community is expected to feel a sense of relief following the crackdown. Source: Google News – Udupi.
