Pune: Pune City Police have been on a hot streak in their campaign to rid the city of drugs. The massive drug bust that took place for the past couple of days had led to the seizure of Mephedrone (MD) also known as 'Meow Meow' drugs worth over 4000 crores and the arrest of 8 people including Bhimaji Sable, owner of the Earthchem factory at Kurkumbh MIDC in Pune, and chemical engineer Yuvraj Bhujbal. Pune Police have managed to trace these operations to Sandeep Dhunia and are in the process of apprehending him. According to Amitesh Kumar, Pune Police Commissioner, Dhunia was also the main accused in the operation conducted by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in 2016. He was lodged in Yerwada jail in relation to the case and there he is said to have gathered his associates for the next big racket.

Interpol has issued a red corner notice against Dhunia.So far, the police have seized 1,750-1,800 kg of Mephedrone.
