By ETF Desk
An armed police team in Udupi district apprehended a 19-year-old man on Thursday in connection with the supply of the synthetic drug methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Witnesses said the suspect was involved in distributing the substance at local social venues.
The arrest followed a raid on premises where police found quantities of MDMA, along with packaging and financial records that pointed to organized trafficking. Authorities confirmed that the suspect had been previously flagged in drug-related surveillance.
Local officials say the detention will act as a deterrent against drug proliferation in the region and are planning further operations targeting drug networks. The case reflects a broader push by Karnataka police to tighten law‑enforcement around narcotics in coastal districts.
