The police team also seized accessories and raw materials used in drug production from the accused woman’s residence in Nalla Sopara on Friday.

He said investigations have revealed that the duo were involved in illegal drug manufacturing and selling, and the police are now focusing on dismantling the distribution network of these banned drugs.
