Thrissur City, Kerala: In a major anti-narcotics operation, the DANSAF squad, in coordination with the Ollur Police, arrested a 25-year-old youth for possessing and intending to sell banned narcotic substances, including cannabis, hashish oil, and MDMA.
Based on a credible tip-off received by DANSAF Sub-Inspector K.V. Vijith, a search was conducted at the residence of Srikanth (25), a native of Mylappan, Kokkath, Kainur, Ollur.

The operation was led by Sub-Inspector K.V.
