Jaipur, Feb 2 (PTI) The Rajasthan Police has busted an illegal MD drug manufacturing unit operating under the guise of a grocery shop and grain warehouse in Pratapgarh district, officials said on Monday.
The operation led to seizure of drugs and raw material with an estimated market value of Rs 5 crore, they said.
