In a major step towards the national mission of “Nasha Mukt Bharat”, the Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN), Madhya Pradesh Unit, has successfully busted a clandestine MD (psychotropic substance) manufacturing unit and seized a record 31.250 kilograms of MD powder. This operation marks one of the most significant drug enforcement actions in the region.

Intelligence-Led Operation

Acting on specific and credible intelligence, a coordinated team of CBN officers carried out a carefully planned raid at Teerth Nursery and Farms, located in Village Amla Agar. The site—a double-storeyed farmhouse hidden nearly 3.5 kilometres away from the main road—was clearly chosen to avoid detection and facilitate illegal activities.

During the operation, three individuals were detained from the farmhouse, which was situated in a secluded area. Their suspicious conduct prompted a detailed search of the premises.

Huge Seizure and Lab Exposure

The search led to the recovery of 31.250 kg of MD powder, concealed inside a bag within the house. On sustained interrogation, the detained individuals admitted that the psychotropic substance had been manufactured by them illegally.

Further disclosures revealed the existence of a fully functional illicit drug manufacturing laboratory operating within one of the rooms on the nursery premises. Acting swiftly, officers recovered utensils, halogen bulbs, and specialised machinery used in the synthesis of MD powder.

In addition, a Mahindra Bolero Pickup, parked near the entrance of the property, was searched. Officers recovered nearly 600 kilograms of various chemicals used in the production of MD powder. The vehicle, suspected to be used for trafficking, was also seized.

All items were confiscated under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act, 1985.

Alarming Revelations During Interrogation

Interrogation revealed that two of the accused were directly involved in large-scale MD manufacturing. Shockingly, they disclosed that they had sufficient chemicals—except one essential precursor—to manufacture an additional 250 to 300 kilograms of MD powder, highlighting the serious threat this illegal operation posed to public health and safety.

Arrests and Ongoing Investigation

All three accused have been arrested under the NDPS Act, and further investigation is currently underway. Authorities are working to trace and dismantle the entire drug manufacturing and trafficking network, ensuring that every link—from production to distribution—is exposed.

CBN’s Commitment to a Drug-Free India

The Central Bureau of Narcotics has reiterated its unwavering commitment to combating drug trafficking and illicit drug manufacturing. Through relentless enforcement and intelligence-driven operations, the CBN continues to play a crucial role in safeguarding society and advancing the vision of a drug-free India.
