During the operation, police recovered 417 grams of MDMA and 105 grams of cocaine, with an estimated combined value of Rs 1.5 crore. Investigators stated that the network procured, stored, and supplied the narcotics through a web of associates. The three foreign suspects were also found to be allegedly overstaying their visas in India without valid travel documents.
