Police in Karnataka seize about 5 kg of MDMA worth roughly Rs 5.2 crore and arrest two people in Bagalkot district, according to multiple reports. The arrests take place after a police team tracks the suspects to a lodge in Bagalkot and intercepts them during the raid on Wednesday. Authorities allege the two were transporting MDMA as part of an interstate smuggling route, moving drugs from Delhi to Bengaluru. The seized haul is reported as valued at about Rs 5 crore to Rs 5.2 crore across outlets. One report also links the current operation to an earlier case involving the arrest of Annappa Swami with MDMA, suggesting an ongoing investigation into a larger supply chain. Preliminary findings cited by one outlet indicate the duo may have been supplying MDMA to multiple regions in southern India. Police are investigating the extent of the network and the source and intended distribution of the drugs. The reports describe the action as part of ongoing efforts by police in Mangaluru/Karnataka to curb drug peddling.
