It was the arrest of two Thane men that pointed the police to a pharma company in Solapur, where they seized nearly 20,000 kg of the narcotic ephedrine. This in turn put the Thane police on the trail of three key players who have stretched the drug ring all the way to Europe and Africa. A Red Corner notice has now been put out on the Interpol for these three men who would frequently travel abroad to expand the operation.
