Police seize mephedrone worth over ₹13cr
The operation kicked off with a Mira Road raid on April 4, where police found 1.32kg of MD.
This led them to uncover an even bigger network, eventually seizing 6.773kg of mephedrone (worth over ₹13 crore), 255-liter of chemicals, and specialized lab gear.
13 people, including two women, are now under arrest under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
