Udupi police arrest 19-year-old accused of supplying MDMA

A 19‑year‑old man was taken into custody by the Udupi police on Tuesday after a sting operation uncovered his involvement in supplying MDMA to several local buyers.

MDMA, also known as ecstasy, is an illegal psychoactive drug that has been linked to severe health risks and increasing drug‑related crimes in Karnataka. Authorities claim the arrested individual was a key link in a network that had been distributing the substance to recreational users in the Udupi District for the past year.

Local residents have expressed concern over the rising drug problem, and the arrest is seen as a step toward reducing drug‑related disorders and crime among youths in the area. Source: Google News – Udupi.
