Recently, Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that a special drive will be launched to crack down on peddlers in the city. The decision came in light of the rising drug menace in the financial capital which affects the physical and mental health of the younger generation.

After Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavi's announcement, the city police quickly sprung into action and increased patrolling in isolated areas and possible drug selling and buying locations. According to the sources, while patrolling at Bandar Road in Sewri, police Sub Inspector Kiran Mhandhare spotted two suspects who were on a bike with registered number MH 01 DG 9903.
