A few days ago, the Mumbra police team received information that a gang of outsiders would be coming to Mumbra to sell drugs. Accordingly, the police team set a trap near Bilal Hospital in the Mumbra area.
Five accused arrested
During the trap, Basu Umarddin Sayyed, a resident of Mumbra and an MD drug seller, was arrested, and 23.5 grams of MD were seized from him by the police.

From their possession, 3 kg 515 grams of MD worth Rs 7 crore 30 lakh 57 thousand were seized.

When the two arrested persons were thoroughly interrogated, it came to light that they had brought the drugs from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh. A team of Mumbra police then reached Ratlam district.
