Eight youths nabbed in a fortnight-long operation
The two-week-long flash inspections by special squads of the police and Excise have dealt a body blow to the clandestine network of synthetic drug carriers in Kozhikode district.
As many as eight youths who maintained close contact with the secret chain of synthetic drug suppliers were nabbed by the squads.
Officials said the youths were suspected of luring many into ecstasy drugs and maintaining a long list of addicts to run the business. There were several teenagers and girl students in the contact list of the arrested, who constantly attempted to expand their operations to nearby districts too, they added. Sources in the police said the dangerous candy-flipping practice where LSD and MDMA are mixed for extreme combo results of potency and euphoria was popular among the arrested. They added that search was on to net the close aides of the arrested and suspected large-scale suppliers.
