The ANC's Bandra unit on Wednesday conducted a raid and recovered MD drugs and brown sugar from the accused Sanjib Nimay Sarkar (39) and Salim Akbar Khan (41), the official said. The arrested accused are the biggest suppliers of MD drugs and brown sugar in the suburban area of the city, he said, adding that the duo has been booked under relevant provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
