In Dehradun, Uttarakhand's Special Task Force (STF) and Anti‑Narcotics Task Force arrested two suspects, Shubham Kumar and Ankit Tiwari, and seized 1.521 kg of ketamine worth over Rs 15 lakh, along with a scooter and mobile phones. The investigation aims to trace the supply chain and identify further accomplices.
