Malappuram, Kerala: In another major success under Operation Toofan, the district police dealt a significant blow to the illegal drug trade by arresting a suspected drug peddler and seizing 405 grams of MDMA, a banned synthetic narcotic, during a targeted enforcement operation.
Acting on credible intelligence, the District Police Chief’s Special Investigation Team conducted a search operation near the Angadipuram overbridge within the limits of Perinthalmanna Police Station. During the operation, the team apprehended Phoolan Mani alias Anil, a resident of Notappuram, Vengara Kannattipadi, who was allegedly in possession of the prohibited substance for the purpose of illegal sale.
