The Anti-Narcotics Cell under Kashimira Police Station in Palghar conducted a raid in Rajasthan's Jalore district, resulting in the arrest of four individuals and the seizure of 2 kg 45 grams of Mephedrone valued at approximately ₹61.35 lakhs.

The operation was a follow-up to a prior case registered at Kashimira Police Station, where 100 grams of Mephedrone was seized from a suspect. During the investigation, police gathered key leads that led a specialized team to Rajasthan.

The team, led by Police Inspector Samir Shaikh of Anti-Narcotics Cell-1, executed a tactical operation in the Navdhera/Falodi region of Jalore, tracking down and apprehending the main suspects. The suspects, identified as Parvez Komme Moinuddin Khan, Ashok Kumar Ganeshlal Darji, and Abhimanugiri Ghanshyam Goswami, were arrested along with a fourth suspect, Nishant Kailash Chinchole, who provided the vehicle used for illegal drug transport.
