In a significant operation, Kadi police have arrested two individuals for selling MD drugs. The arrests took place near the railway crossing on Karan Nagar Road in Kadi.

Additionally, the police confiscated mobile phones and an auto-rickshaw, amounting to a total value of ₹2,43,100.
The police received a tip-off that two men were selling MD drugs from an auto-rickshaw. Acting on this information, the police conducted a raid. The rickshaw, bearing the number GJ.18.BU.9994, was stopped, and the two suspects were apprehended. They have been identified as Faizan Mohammadbhai Sheikh, a resident of Matka Kuwa, Kalol, and Parvez Akrambhai Dhurdhoya, living near Ghanchivala Tower in Kalol.
The suspects were found with suspicious brown powder in separate plastic containers. The police informed the Gandhinagar Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team. Upon analysis, the officers confirmed that the seized powder was indeed methaqualone (MD drugs). A case has been registered, and legal proceedings are underway.
This operation reflects the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking in Gujarat. The police are committed to ensuring the safety and health of the community by tackling illegal drug sales.
In recent months, there have been other drug-related arrests in Mehsana. The Special Operations Group (SOG) recently apprehended a young man on the Nandasan highway near Ganeshpura. This individual was found with 58 grams of MD drugs, valued at ₹5.80 lakh in the international market. The police are now investigating the source of this large quantity of drugs and whether others are involved in this network.
The rise in drug trafficking in the area has raised concerns among residents. Community leaders are calling for more awareness and support to help prevent drug abuse. Local authorities are urged to engage with families and youth to create a safer environment.
Furthermore, police encourage citizens to report any suspicious activities in their neighbourhoods. They believe that community involvement is crucial in the fight against drugs. With continued vigilance, they hope to reduce drug-related incidents and create a healthier community for all.
As investigations continue, police are determined to dismantle drug networks operating in the region. They will work closely with forensic teams and other agencies to bring those involved to justice. The commitment to tackling drug issues is stronger than ever, as law enforcement aims to protect the youth and future of Gujarat.
