NCB busts clandestine drug manufacturing lab in Mysuru

NCB seized synthetic drugs worth ₹10 crore, cash, and chemicals in a Mysuru lab; multiple arrests include the alleged mastermind linked to Rajasthan and Gujarat.

  • On January 30, 2026 the Narcotics Control Bureau said it busted a major inter‑State drug‑trafficking syndicate and a clandestine laboratory in Mysuru, sealing the unit for forensic examination.
  • Vishnoi, the alleged mastermind, learned synthetic-drug processes while jailed and established the lab in 2024 after bail, according to NCB.
  • Authorities linked the vehicle intercepted at Palsana on January 28 to recoveries of 35 kg of Mephedrone, and Vishnoi's house yielded 1.8 kg of opium, ₹25.6 lakh, and key chemicals.
  • Mysuru City Police inspected chemical factories, warehouses, and distribution units in Metagalli and Hebbal on January 30 using sniffer dogs, advising factory and warehouse owners to keep accurate inventories and warning of strict legal action.
  • The bust positions authorities to disrupt an inter‑State supply chain, with seizures of over 500 kg of chemicals prompting NCB to circulate Red Flag Indicators and urge verification by chemical industries.
