  "summary": "Two individuals, Maram Vamshi Reddy and Beera Praveen Kumar, have been arrested in Shabad with 13.97 grams of MDMA, valued at around ₹2 lakh. The Future City police, along with the Shabad police, intercepted the duo near Nagarkunta Crossroads on October 9, following a tip-off. The arrested men were allegedly planning to sell the drugs to students and software professionals in Mokila, Kokapet, and Nanakramguda to make a profit. Police seized the drugs, two mobile phones, and documented the seizure with the help of the Clues Team. The duo is suspected to have purchased the MDMA from a supplier in Bengaluru for ₹42,000, with plans to sell it at higher prices in the target areas. The police are currently tracing the supplier, Stephen, in Bengaluru to establish the source of the contraband and investigate potential involvement of others in the distribution network.",
