NEW DELHI:

Operation Med Max by the NCB that began in New Delhi's Mandi House nearly a month and a half ago, led to one suspect in the US, busting of illegal factories in Australia, an illegal call centre in Udupi, and identification of a money launderer in the US as well as a UAE-based kingpin.

Explaining the investigation trail, a home ministry spokesperson said that on May 25, the agency's operations unit intercepted a car near Mandi House (Bengali Market) in Delhi in which two BPharma students were arrested with 3.7kg Tramadol tablets. Tramadol has been notified as a drug under the NDPS Act by the finance ministry in April 2018.
