Nagpur: In a major anti-drug operation, the Nagpur Rural Police’s NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) Cell seized a large stock of intoxicating Tramadol tablets during a raid in the Kanhan area late on Tuesday night.
Acting on specific intelligence, the police conducted a raid at a location along the Kanhan–Ramtek Road near the Kanhan river, where they recovered a substantial quantity of the banned tablets from the residence of a suspect.
According to preliminary information, the seized contraband is valued at several lakhs of rupees.
