Police officials have successfully intercepted a significant drug haul, seizing 716 grams of MDMA in Kozhikode. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Arjun V Nath, was taken into custody.

The operation, conducted by the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) alongside Cheranalloor police, targeted a lodge on Mattummel Road. Initial searches yielded a small quantity of MDMA, with Nath subsequently revealing more was stored at a nearby apartment.

Authorities believe the contraband is worth several lakhs of rupees and suspect Nath as a crucial figure in a network importing synthetic drugs from Delhi. Investigations are ongoing, and Nath will face remand proceedings in court shortly.
