Massive Drug Bust in Bhopal Uncovers ₹1,800 Crore Operation

The discovery of an unusual ventilation system led authorities to a synthetic drug factory operating under the guise of a soap manufacturing unit.

The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad and Narcotics Control Bureau seized 907 kg of mephedrone from a factory near Bhopal, valued at ₹1,814 crore.
The factory, registered as a soap manufacturing unit, was rented out for drug production six months ago and became a focal point of investigation.
Three suspects, including Harish Anjana, were arrested, with Anjana having alleged connections to local politicians, sparking political controversy.
Authorities are investigating the use of cryptocurrency for transactions and plans to distribute drugs to the UK and Dubai.
The Madhya Pradesh Industrial Development Corporation is reviewing industrial permits and has issued a lease cancellation for the implicated factory.
