In a breakthrough in the city police’s ongoing efforts to make Mysuru a drug-free city, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) conducted an intensive anti-narcotics operation in Naidu Nagar under the Narasimharaja Police Station limits on December 11. During the raid, the CCB team seized 176 grams of hydro ganja, estimated to be worth ₹17 lakh in the illegal market.

Two persons, identified as Aftab Ali Baig and Pratap Kumar, have been detained for their alleged involvement in the sale and purchase of the contraband.
