In a significant narcotics bust, city police arrested four individuals accused of selling banned substances. The operation resulted in the confiscation of 37.400 kg of ganja, 33 grams of hydro ganja, and 23.19 grams of MDMA, valued at Rs 48.24 lakh in the illegal market, authorities disclosed on Tuesday.

The arrests followed intelligence inputs suggesting the sale of such substances in the Mahadevapura, K G Halli, and Malleswaram areas. According to police, the suspects confessed to obtaining the drugs from unidentified out-of-state suppliers and aimed to distribute them to several consumers, including college students, for financial gain.
