Arakkonam police have apprehended three individuals for allegedly possessing 600 narcotic tablets, according to reports. The suspects, K. Subash, V. Elango, and B. Saravanan, all residents of Chennai, were 22, 26, and 22 years old respectively when they were arrested on Saturday. The trio were found to be in the process of selling the drugs in retail, with plans to sell them in Chennai.
The arrest came after a tip-off led to a special police team intercepting the suspects near the Arakkonam railway station, as part of routine checks in public areas such as bus terminals and isolated buildings. The investigation revealed that the gang had placed an order for the tablets with pharmacies in Mumbai, which were then couriered to them.
The police stated that the gang was en route to the railway station to distribute the drugs. A case has been registered, and the suspects have been taken to the Central Prison in Vellore for further probing.
