The Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the Mumbai Police has arrested a 26-year-old woman with 503 gms of pure quality Mephedrone (MD) worth Rs 50 lakh, which the cops said was her per day sale. While the agency claims that she was one of the major suppliers of MD in the city, they have also found out that her family members were involved in drug trafficking as well.

Based on a tip off, the ANC officers laid a trap at LBS Road, Kurla and arrested the accused, identified as Shabina Khan. The agency has found out that about 15-20 drug peddlers work under her. "Initial investigation revealed that 500 gms is her per day sale, which she used to hand over to the peddlers, who would then sell it off to customers from across the city," said Datta Nalawade, deputy commissioner of police, ANC. "She has been arrested under several sections of the NDPS Act and we are investigating the matter to find out about those working for her," Nalawade added.
