According to Sources, The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai police nabbed five people on Wednesday, among them a 55-year-old chemist who produced the designer drug in Nashik and supplied it out of a commercial building in Nalasopara on the outskirts of Mumbai. Additionally, the ANC seized approximately 700 kilograms mephedrone (MD).
A raid on the Nalasopara tenement where the drugs were stored, according to Datta Nalawade, deputy commissioner of police (ANC), turned over 701kg of MD with a street value of 1,408 crore. Based on information from a few individuals who were jailed in March of this year for having small amounts of MD, the raid was carried out.
The maker of the illegal goods, who used to distribute it out of the commercial tenement he had acquired in Nalasopara, was ultimately located, according to Nalawade. “We ultimately managed to reach the contraband maker after capturing three tiers of the syndicate—a peddler, a supplier, and a distributor”.
Kilograms Of mephedrone seized and its worth :
“We have seized about 700 kilos from the commercial tenement, which is worth at about Rs. 1,403 crore,” Nalawade stated. On March 29, the ANC’s Worli division apprehended a drug seller from the Govandi neighbourhood carrying 250 grammes of mephedrone, which launched the drug probe. The ANC team that had apprehended him afterwards supplied his drug supplier, who was also from Govandi, and 2.76kg of MD were taken from him
Further investigation revealed that two more individuals, a man and a woman, were responsible for spreading MD in the city’s eastern suburbs. On July 27, both of them were arrested.
Additionally seized was the 55-year-old post-graduate in organic chemical producer. Nalawade asserted that while residing in Nalasopara with his wife and two children, he created the synthetic drug in Nashik and transported it there in a tempo.
.The drugs were supplied in and around Mumbai within just a few hours after he received the initial payment that he would not really take orders for less than 25kg.
