  "summary": "In a significant drug seizure, a police squad from Malappuram in Kerala seized 12.8 kg of MDMA, valued at over ₹10 crore, from a car in Coimbatore. Three individuals from Malappuram and Wayanad were arrested in connection with the operation, which was led by District Police Chief Chaitra Teresa John. The MDMA was concealed in the door panels of an Innova car and was being transported for distribution in Keralam and Tamil Nadu. The investigation began after the arrest of six individuals with 100 g of MDMA from an apartment in Manjeri, leading police to a wider drug trafficking network that operated across India and sourced drugs in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.",
