Kerala Police Arrest Educators in Drug Case, Initiate Property Forfeiture Proceedings
Kerala police have arrested three special educators in connection with a synthetic drug trafficking case in Vadakara.

Police have initiated property forfeiture proceedings under the NDPS Act to seize assets linked to the drug network. A Special Investigation Team is expanding the probe to track financial intermediaries and dismantle the syndicate's operations.
