  "summary": "Three individuals were arrested in Hyderabad by the Rajendranagar Zone Task Force for illegally selling mephentermine sulphate injections. The arrests came after the Task Force uncovered an online procurement network where the injections were bought in bulk and resold at significantly higher prices. Mohammad Aejaz, 23, was apprehended and 110 vials of the injections were seized from him, along with 25 syringes and three mobile phones. Zuber, 30, and his associate Saif Khan, 20, were also arrested for their roles in sourcing and supplying the drugs. The investigation revealed that Zuber sourced the injections through IndiaMART and delivered them via third-party courier services, selling individual injections for around ₹1,000 each. A case has been registered against the three under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.",
