Pune, Jan 27: Four persons, including a police constable, have been arrested with the seizure of 9.6 kg of a “narcotic substance” in the district, Pune Rural Police said on Tuesday.

Initial seizure leads to wider probe

The action followed the seizure of 1.5 kg of suspected drugs worth around Rs 2 crore from the possession of Shadab Shaikh (41) by Shirur police on January 17. It was yet to be ascertained whether the substance was mephedrone or alprazolam, according to officials.

More names surface during interrogation
