The case pertains to the seizure of 513 kg of MD, valued at Rs.1,026 crore in the illicit market, from a factory in Ankleshwar. Overall, the ANC has recovered 2,428 kg of MD, valued at approximately Rs.4,857 crore, from various accused in the case. Justice Neela Gokhale granted bail to Vora on the ground of parity, noting that Chintan Shah, the lessee of the industrial unit where the contraband was allegedly being manufactured, had earlier been granted bail by the Supreme Court. During the investigation of a drug case, the police learnt that an accused was guiding workers of a medicines factory in Ankleshwar in manufacturing MD. Acting on this information, the ANC raided the factory on August 14, 2022, seizing 513 kg of MD along with raw materials used in its production. Vora allegedly sold MD to one of the arrested distributors and raised invoices for the transactions. He was arrested on September 9, 2022. htc...
