Two more suspected synthetic drug traffickers have been arrested from Noida as part of the continuing probe into the seizure of one kg of MDMA by the Pantheerankavu police.
The arrested were identified as Ajmal, a native of Nilambur in Malappuram, and Surya, a native of Thiruvananthapuram.
Police sources said Ajmal was a major drug supplier who procured MDMA and methamphetamine in large quantities from Delhi and supplied them to Keralam through hired carriers and drug peddlers. Surya, a nursing student in Bengaluru, was allegedly staying with Ajmal in a rented apartment in Noida, they added.
Four persons had earlier been arrested in connection with the case. The subsequent investigation allegedly revealed that the drugs had been supplied by Ajmal from Delhi, the police said.
