In a significant drug bust by the Palghar police, the officials have seized drugs valued at Rs 10.8 lakh and arrested two persons in this connection in Maharashtra's Palghar district, officials said on Tuesday.

As reported by PTI, the police officials during the patrolling on Monday noticed a car speeding on the Mokhada-Trimbak road.

The Superintendent of Police (Palghar Rural), Yatish Deshmukh, said, “As soon as the police found something suspicious about the speeding car, they signalled the car to stop. Despite the police officials' signal, the driver tried to speed away. The police then chased the car, and it was later found abandoned in Chinchur village. While the driver somehow managed to escape, the car was successfully confiscated,” as cited by news agency PTI.
