The operation, carried out between 10.40 p.m. on October 6 and 12.40 a.m. on October 7, 2026, led to the arrest of one individual. The Worli unit of the ANC intercepted the drugs after receiving credible information about the illicit sale of prescription tablets in the area. The seized tablets, labeled \"buttons,\" were being sold on the streets and identified as nitrazepam (NITCOR-10) and alprazolam (PROCALM-1). The combined value of the recovered drugs amounted to ₹2.53 crore. Police are investigating the source, recipients, and distribution network of the seized substances, and have registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. Further inquiries are ongoing.",
