Around 4.910 kg of manufactured MD (Mephedrone) in Sanchore. The action was taken under Operation PRAYOGSHALA in close coordination with the Anti-Narcotics Task Force, Rajasthan, officials said.
During the operation, NCB Jodhpur seized various laboratory and industrial equipment, including borosilicate jars, a thermometer, an industrial electromagnetic stirrer, a weight machine and other related items used for the manufacture of synthetic drugs. Three individuals were apprehended, and further investigation is ongoing.
Earlier, in a similar incident, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Rajasthan Police busted a clandestine laboratory operating from a remote farmhouse in Daantrai village of Sirohi district.
The joint operation led to the seizure of hundreds of kilograms of chemicals–sufficient to manufacture nearly 100 kg of Mephedrone, a psychotropic substance with an estimated street value of Rs 40 crore.
According to the officials, the breakthrough resulted from NCB’s ongoing sensitisation of district police forces through monthly district-level NCORD meetings. Police units across Rajasthan were trained to identify suspicious activity, particularly the presence of chemicals, drums, or laboratory equipment in unusual locations — potential indicators of illicit drug manufacturing units.-ANI
Acting on specific intelligence inputs, the NCB Jodhpur team executed a swift, well-coordinated operation with ANTF Rajasthan and the Jalore Police today. The case was registered under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985, an official statement said.
