Mumbai police have announced significant progress in their investigation of the recent seizure of mephedrone worth Rs 115 crore in Maharashtra's Satara district. Authorities have detained three individuals connected to the case, with no ties found to the sarpanch of Dare village.

The crime branch, handling the high-stakes case, has identified the suspects as Kayam Nizar Saddam, Razikul Rahman, and Habizul Islam. The trio hails from varying regions, including Palghar and Assam, according to officials.

The breakthrough in the case came with the discovery of a mephedrone manufacturing unit operating covertly from a cowshed in Savari village, located in Javali taluka of Satara.
