Two nabbed with 100 g of MDMA in Thiruvananthapuram

The government’s anti-drug campaign continues to gather pace in the State capital, with two people nabbed with alleged possession of nearly 100 g of MDMA in Thiruvananthapuram early Monday.

The operation follows the purported seizure of 105 g of MDMA from two persons at East Fort a day ago.

The Thiruvananthapuram City District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) apprehended two people, identified as Ananthakrishnan of Sreekaryam and Thomas of Thumba near the Kovalam bypass junction. The duo were interepted while they were allegedly attempting to smuggle the contraband in a car.

According to the police, Ananthakrishnan is a history-sheeter with several criminal cases registered against him within the Sreekaryam police station limits.

The accused persons are suspected to have been transporting the contraband for sale in the Kazhakuttam and other areas surrounding Technopark.
