Malappuram, October 2 (Daily Kiran) : In a significant operation, police in Malappuram, Kerala, apprehended two men for allegedly trafficking drugs. The Kuttyapuram police, along with the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF), arrested Muhammad Rizwan, 25, and Muhammad Jasil, 41, who were found with 100 grams of MDMA.
The arrests took place on Friday morning in Thrippalur, Kuttyapuram. The duo, residents of Tavanur, were reportedly waiting for potential buyers when police acted on a tip-off. They arrived in a car, having allegedly transported the drugs from Bengaluru.
