The team unearthed a substantial cache of banned codeine cough syrup and pain relief capsules. The operation led to the detention of two individuals, while a third suspect is still at large.

The consumption of narcotic substances can lead to 'sedation,' often evolving into a habitual dependence. The police are interrogating the apprehended individuals to map out the complete network of this illegal trade.
Drug Department's Resolute Stand
Assistant Commissioner highlighted that the inquiry into a suspect revealed the non-operational status of his firm’s license. Investigations aim to uncover specifics regarding drug sales. The department is dedicated to tracing the breadth of this illegal trade.
It's noteworthy that following the tragic deaths of 22 children in Madhya Pradesh due to toxic cough syrup, the Uttar Pradesh drug administration has ramped up its vigilance against prohibited drugs. This has already led to the revocation of the errant company's license and the arrest of its owner.
