In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has successfully dismantled a clandestine drug lab and seized 46.8 kg of Mephedrone (MD), a synthetic stimulant, with an estimated street value of Rs 50 crore. The operation, carried out on 22 March 2025, resulted in the arrest of two individuals from Mumbai’s Bhandup area.

This operation aligns with the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for a Drug-Free India (Nasha Mukt Bharat) and follows the directives of the Union Home Minister to curb drug networks across the country.
