Rented House Raid in Mauganj Exposes MD Drug Lab With Links Stretching to Mumbai Police in Madhya Pradesh's Mauganj district have busted an MD drug manufacturing unit running out of a rented house in Bijhauli village, arresting four people and seizing around 360 grams of the drug. Investigators say the supply network stretched from Rewa to Mumbai. Madhya Pradesh's Mauganj district has just seen one of its biggest anti-drug operations to date, after police busted an MD drug manufacturing unit running out of a rented house in Bijhauli village under the Shahpur police station area. The raid ended with four men arrested on the spot and a substantial quantity of the drug seized from inside the premises. Acting on a tip-off received late at night, officers learned that the house had been rented out roughly five to six months earlier and had quietly been converted into a drug-making unit ever since. The police team moved in without alerting anyone in the neighbourhood, and what they found inside the house left them stunned. A house turned into a makeshift chemistry lab Mauganj Superintendent of Police Surendra Jain treated the tip-off as serious enough to warrant his personal attention and reached the spot himself, accompanied by Additional Superintendent of Police Shashikant Saryam, SDOP Sachi Pathak and Shahpur police station in-charge Rishi Dwivedi. The officers did not simply send a team; they personally walked through the house to inspect the setup. The room they entered looked nothing like an ordinary home, resembling instead a working chemistry laboratory. Various chemicals used to prepare MD drugs were found stored across the room, and glass beakers and jars lay scattered about, clearly having been used in the actual manufacturing process rather than kept for storage alone. 360 grams of MD drugs recovered, SP weighs it himself During the search, police found a packet lying on a wooden platform, locally called a takht, inside the room, containing around 360 grams of MD drugs. SP Surendra Jain himself weighed the seized consignment on a machine that was kept right there in the room. Early findings indicate that this was far from a small, local operation; the network stretched from Mauganj all the way to Rewa and further on to Mumbai. The accused reportedly supplied the MD drugs they manufactured both in the local market and in the markets of bigger cities, turning the rented house into a supply point feeding a much wider chain. Police said that over the past four to five months, there had been persistent talk in Mauganj's local market about the entry of MD drugs alongside Corex, rumours that this bust now appears to confirm. Four accused arrested, all residents of Rewa district Police arrested Chandan Singh, aged 26, Ashok Gupta, aged 40, Peekchandra Yadav, aged 21, and Rishabh Sen, aged 18, in connection with the case. All four are residents of Rewa district. Superintendent of Police Surendra Jain said the investigation is still ongoing and that police are now working to trace the entire network behind the operation, rather than treating the four arrests as the end of the case. He added that efforts are underway to determine where the accused were supplying the finished MD drugs and from where they were sourcing the chemicals used to manufacture them, since both the buyers and the chemical suppliers remain unidentified for now. Police are also looking for other people who may be linked to the racket, in an effort to dismantle the full supply chain that connects Mauganj, Rewa and Mumbai. What this means for you • Across India: The case shows how rented houses in small towns and villages can be turned into drug-manufacturing units, underlining why landlords and local police everywhere need to keep closer track of who is renting local properties. • In Mauganj-Rewa: Families in the area now have confirmation that MD drugs were being actively produced and sold in nearby villages, raising concern about easier access to the drug for local youth.
