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.
It is worth mentioning that on Monday, the Crime Branch arrested three drug traffickers in Pune and seized 3.5 crore worth of methamphetamine (MD) from their possession. This drug trafficking racket was being operated from a godown in Gorakhdham, and police suspect the involvement of international traffickers.
