Man arrested for MDMA possession in Thiruvananthapuram

A 35-year-old man named Jaseem was arrested in Thiruvananthapuram for possessing MDMA, a type of drug. The police caught him at Kaimanam on Sunday after investigating his activities for weeks. They received tips about his suspicious behavior, especially around young people. Jaseem reportedly targeted students and had the MDMA packed in small pouches, ready to sell. He claimed to have obtained the drugs from suppliers outside Kerala but did not provide more information. Police are actively seeking to identify these suppliers. To curb drug trafficking, police have increased surveillance near schools and public areas. They encourage residents to report any suspicious activities. Jaseem has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days while the police work on awareness campaigns regarding drug abuse in local communities.
