In a coordinated police raid on a residential property in Mangaluru’s Hebbal region on Monday, two men were arrested for alleged drug peddling activities connected to the Udupi district. The suspects were taken into custody after officers seized a stash of illicit narcotics and related paraphernalia.
Investigators had been monitoring a series of calls and online posts pointing to the suspects’ involvement in drug trafficking routes that cross from Udupi to Mangaluru. The arrest comes after a joint task‑force led by the Karnataka State Police and local district authorities shared intelligence gathered over several weeks.
