In a major crackdown on the drug trade, Madhya Pradesh Police, in coordination with Mumbai Police, have seized 10 kilograms of illegal narcotics and arrested two drug traffickers in Ratlam district. The joint operation was carried out in the Hussain Tekri area of Jaora, following a key lead obtained during an earlier arrest in Mumbai. According to police officials, on January 11, Mumbai Police apprehended an accused with a large quantity of drugs. During interrogation, crucial information emerged linking the supply chain to Madhya Pradesh. Acting swiftly on this input, a joint team of Mumbai and Ratlam Police conducted raids in Jaora, leading to the recovery of the narcotics and the arrest of two traffickers. Authorities believe the seized drugs were part of an inter-state trafficking network, with Ratlam being used as a storage and transit point. Police are now questioning the arrested accused to identify other members of the syndicate and trace the wider distribution network. Senior officials termed the operation a significant success in the ongoing fight against narcotics and reiterated that strict action will continue against those involved in the drug trade. Further investigation is underway, and more arrests are likely as the probe expands.
