The Mumbai Police’s Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) seized 9,800 nitrazepam and alprazolam tablets, valued at ₹2.53 crore, and arrested one person in Govandi during an operation between 10.40 p.m. on October 6 and 12.40 a.m. on Wednesday (October 7, 2026).

Acting on specific information, the Worli unit of the ANC searched a residence in Dr Zakir Hussain Nagar, Govandi, where a person was allegedly storing and selling the prescription tablets for recreational use. The tablets are allegedly sold on the street as “buttons”, according to police.
