Three Arrested in Udupi on Behalf of MDMA and Hydro Ganja Worth Rs 3.31 Lakh
By ETF Desk
Police officers from the Udupi police station launched a covert operation on Friday night, apprehending three suspects and seizing a cache of MDMA and hydro‑ganja worth approximately Rs 3.31 lakh.
The drugs were discovered in a derelict warehouse near Kengeri, a locality that has recently seen a spike in narcotic‑related incidents. MDMA, widely known as ecstasy, and hydro‑ganja, a form of cured marijuana, are considered illegal under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, and possession can attract severe penalties.
Authorities say the raid is part of a broader initiative to curb drug trafficking in the district, a move that is expected to reassure residents who have expressed growing concerns over drug‑related crime. The incident underscores the ongoing threat that illicit drugs pose to the safety of Udupi’s communities. Source: Google News – Udupi.
