The Meghwadi police have busted two pharmaceutical drug rackets this month, with the arrest of two drug peddlers. The cops have launched a manhunt to arrest two absconding chemist owners in Aurangabad, who were involved in one of the rackets.

On Sunday, the cops recovered 12,000 tablets of Nitrazepam Nitravet 10 and Alprazolam Alko 1 worth R41,000 from the accused, identified as Samshad Fazlu Sheikh, 21. Both the drugs are prescribed for insomnia.
