Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh): The Narcotics Wing has seized MD drugs worth ₹2.20 crore from the house of a former sarpanch in Mandsaur on Sunday.
The drugs were seized from the Aakya Kunwarpad village. The former sarpanch was running an illegal MD drug manufacturing unit at his home. However, he escaped before the police raid.
On Saturday night, the Narcotics Wing arrested two suspects, Balu Singh Panwar (46) from Suwasara and Kamlesh Prajapat (34) from Dhabla Deval, on Neemuch Bypass Road.
