Earlier, on February 19, Pune police’s Crime Branch seized 55 kilograms of methamphetamine (MD) in a late-night operation. Subsequently, a chemical company in Kurukshetra was raided, leading to the seizure of MD drugs. Police are investigating whether there is a connection between this drug racket and drug lord Lalit Patil. This operation conducted by the Crime Branch raises concerns about the expansion of the drug trade.
