Drug unit busted just before its start: Cops

On Tuesday, the police unearthed a large-scale MD drug manufacturing unit, close to the Indo-Pakistan border. Police said that while two people were detained, a third suspect managed to escape. Besides eight others have been named in the FIR.

“This factory was fully equipped and just a day away from starting large-scale MD drug production. We recovered precursor chemicals and machinery capable of manufacturing synthetic drugs worth nearly ₹100 crore. This operation has likely prevented a massive supply from hitting the streets,” said Barmer superintendent of police Narendra Meena during a press conference.
