On Wednesday, a joint operation by the Local Crime Branch, Shirur police, and Nhavare police in Pune resulted in the seizure of around 56 grams of suspected mephedrone, valued at approximately ₹11.90 lakh, in the Nhavare area. Two men, Pradeep Vitthal Korekar, 24, and Sainath Janardan Bhosekar, 23, were arrested in connection with the alleged drug trade, while a third suspect, Dnyanesh alias Mauli Kaluram Korekar, has fled and is currently at large.
The arrest came after the police received confidential information about the suspected sale of MD drugs in the Nhavare region. Based on this intelligence, the law enforcement agencies laid a trap near Shelke Vasti on the Nhavare-Talegaon highway. The operation, conducted on Wednesday afternoon, was the culmination of several days of surveillance of individuals suspected of trafficking MD drugs in Nhavare and surrounding areas, including Karegaon, Shrigonda, Yavat, and Kedgaon.
The arrested suspects are currently being questioned to establish the source of the drugs and identify other individuals involved in the supply chain. Police Sub-Inspector Sagar Shelke is leading the investigation into the case.
