On April 19, 2023, Mumbai police seized 5,000 MDMA pills valued at ₹6 crore (approximately $720,000 USD) and arrested a 35-year-old woman in Titwala, Thane district, Maharashtra, India. The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) acted on a tip-off, indicating that the drugs were likely intended for parties and upcoming events. Preliminary investigations suggest that the narcotics were sourced through an interstate syndicate. Authorities are currently analyzing the woman's mobile phone data to uncover other members of the drug distribution network. This arrest follows a recent operation on April 14, where the ANC seized 200 MDMA pills and arrested another suspect, Irfan Ansari, who named the female drug peddler as the main supplier. The police's ongoing efforts aim to dismantle narcotics supply chains in the region.
