Kerala Teachers Arrested in MDMA Drug Trafficking Case Amid Ongoing InvestigationPreviousNext

Two contractual teachers in Kerala's Kozhikode district, K.C. Keerthana and K. Kavya, were arrested for alleged involvement in an MDMA drug distribution network. Police investigations revealed their bank accounts received payments linked to drug transactions, prompting scrutiny of call records and financial details of other suspects, including teachers. Authorities have formed a Special Investigation Team and terminated the teachers' appointments. Police are also investigating possible drug supply to students and connections to a wider narcotics network.
