Three Held With 53g MD Drugs in Indore

On July 15, police in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, arrested 45-year-old Mohammad Jafar Pathan from the Niranjanpur area and recovered 19.14 grams of MD drugs and a motorcycle from his possession.

This led to the registration of a case under the NDPS Act. During interrogation, Jafar allegedly revealed that he had purchased the drugs from Zahid alias Javed Khan, a resident of Pratapgarh district in Rajasthan.

Acting on this information, police tracked down and arrested Zahid alias Javed Khan and his associate, Kanhaiyalal Gayari, near a petrol pump on the Bypass Road at Lasudia Parmar on July 19.

Police recovered another 34.31 grams of MD drugs and a motorcycle from the two suspects. The total amount of MD drugs seized is 53.45 grams.

Investigation revealed that Zahid allegedly contacted customers in Indore and other places through social media platforms before supplying the drugs.

The three suspects, including Mohammad Jafar Pathan, Zahid alias Javed Khan, and Kanhaiyalal Gayari, are on police remand and are being questioned to identify the source of the drugs and other members of the trafficking network.

According to police, Mohammad Jafar Pathan has a previous criminal case registered in Indore, while Zahid alias Javed Khan has earlier NDPS cases registered in Rajasthan.

The arrests were made by DCP Aman Singh Rathore and his team, who are further investigating the case to uncover the entire trafficking network.

The seizure of a significant amount of MD drugs and the arrest of interstate traffickers is a major breakthrough for the Indore police in their efforts to curb drug trafficking in the city.

The use of social media platforms by the traffickers to contact customers highlights the need for increased vigilance and monitoring of online activities to prevent such crimes.

The Indore police are continuing their investigation to identify the source of the drugs and other members of the trafficking network, and to take further action against those involved in the illegal drug trade.
