According to the police, the arrested individuals have been identified as Nikhil Agarwal (24) and Ronnie Adhikari (26). Nikhil is a resident of the Girish Park area, while Ronnie lives in the Golf Green area.
Police received a tip-off from confidential sources that drug trafficking was taking place in the area. Following this information, the police increased surveillance in the locality.
According to sources, on Tuesday, police spotted the two men acting suspiciously and stopped them for questioning. During the search, MDMA pills and Kush were recovered from their possession.
