*Indore/Mp:* – In a shocking revelation, the city’s Crime Branch has unraveled a sinister plan to flood New Year’s Eve parties with MD drugs, arresting three seasoned criminals and seizing contraband worth ₹5 lakh. The accused were reportedly on a mission to exploit the festive spirit by peddling drugs at exorbitant prices to vulnerable youths.

The swift operation unfolded near Rau Circle, where police intercepted a suspicious Alto car attempting to flee. The dramatic chase ended when the vehicle crashed into a pole, injuring the culprits. Inside, law enforcement discovered 18 grams of MD drugs, three mobile phones, and the car used for the illicit trade.

*The Criminal Profiles: A Disturbing Pattern*

Yusuf alias Raju (40) – A taxi driver with a criminal history of six offenses, including armed assault and vehicular accidents.

Shakeel alias Shakir Mansuri (28) – An auto driver with a modest education, embroiled in illegal activities.

Shahrukh alias Golu – A butcher by trade, previously charged under the NDPS Act.

A Calculated Plan to Exploit the Festive Rush

Preliminary investigations reveal that the trio procured the drugs from Dhar district, intending to supply them to New Year’s Eve parties in Indore. Their motive: capitalize on high demand and vulnerable partygoers, making massive profits while spreading addiction.

*A Deeper Nexus?*

Police suspect the involvement of a larger network. “We’re digging deeper into their supply chain and accomplices,” an official stated. The trio’s addiction to narcotics further underscores the vicious cycle they perpetuated.

*A Grim Reminder*

As Indore police ramp up their crackdown on drug trafficking, this bust serves as a chilling reminder of the growing audacity of criminals targeting the city’s youth. While the accused face NDPS charges, the incident highlights the urgent need for community vigilance to combat the drug menace lurking beneath the surface.

With New Year celebrations approaching, authorities urge citizens to stay alert and report suspicious activities to safeguard the city’s future.
