9 more medicos arrested in Mangaluru drug racket case
Police in Mangaluru, Karnataka, have detained nine medical students linked to a drug trafficking network. The arrests follow earlier detentions of 15 students in the same scheme. Authorities say the crackdown comes amid concerns that drug use has risen since the resumption of in‑person classes in Dakshina Kannada, a region with eight medical colleges. The operation aims to curb student drug abuse.
