Mumbai Police on Sunday busted a mephedrone (MD) manufacturing unit on the outskirts of the city, seizing the drug along with raw materials and equipment worth approximately Rs 13.4 crore. Five people have been arrested in connection with the case.

The unit came to light after the Tilak Nagar Police in Mumbai recovered 57 grams of MD from a suspect on October 5. Following interrogation, the suspect revealed details about the supply chain, prompting the police to track down four more individuals allegedly involved in the production and sale of the drug in Mumbai and Mira Road.
