Over 12 kg MDMA Seized in Coimbatore; Three Arrested in Kerala-Tamil Nadu Drug Probe
Police in Malappuram and Coimbatore seized over 12 kg of MDMA valued at around Rs 10 crore from a vehicle, arresting three individuals linked to a wider drug trafficking network operating across Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The investigation began after an earlier seizure of nearly 100 grams of MDMA in Manjeri. Authorities identified transit points in Tamil Nadu and are continuing efforts to trace the source and other members of the network. The accused have prior drug-related cases, and a special team will further probe the case.
