The operation that began on Apr 26 continued on Apr 27. The joint raid led to the uncovering of two factories in Rajasthan and one near Gandhinagar, officials said.

The operation resulted in the arrest of 12 persons while one suspect has been detained. Drugs valued at ₹230 cr have been confiscated during the operation.

“Special chemicals were sourced from Vapi GIDC, ordered under the name of Balaji Agro,” an official said.

The authorities have confiscated approximately 25 kg of MDMA, along with a substantial amount of raw materials used for manufacturing the drug.

The NCB will carry forward the investigation.
