Kozhikode police have arrested three men and seized 1.01 kilograms of suspected MDMA from a vehicle during a joint operation at Pantheerankavu early Saturday (May 9). The suspects were apprehended near Capkon City around 1 a.m. by the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force and the Pantheerankavu police unit.
