Excise team seizes 106 g of MDMA in Thiruvananthapuram; one arrested
Excise officials in Thiruvananthapuram arrested a youth named Aromal on Sunday for allegedly possessing 106 grams of MDMA. The incident occurred in Vilappilsala and is part of the Excise Department's ongoing Operation Toofan, which involves intensified inspections across the district in recent days. The Excise Enforcement and Anti-Narcotic Special Squad made the arrest.
The contraband was found on Aromal's motorcycle, which has been seized. Authorities are investigating whether Aromal has connections to other drug networks in areas like Nedumangad, Aryanad, and Malayinkeezhu, some of which target educational institutions. This arrest follows another incident a day earlier, where two young men were apprehended near Puthenkada along NH-66 with around 55 grams of MDMA.
