Police seized 2.75 grams of MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a psychoactive drug) and an empty bottle, which allegedly used to stock hashish oil from his room. He was arrested when 15 days were left for completion of the house surgency (internship after the MBBS).

The confessional video showed the man reportedly telling police that he used to supply narcotic drugs to 15 other doctors and subsequently disclosed a few names.

Police said the man, a native of Kozhikode, has been peddling synthetic substances to medical professionals for the last three years. “Early this year, a drug peddler was arrested from the premises of the medical college hospital. We got a lead from the arrested drug peddler about the involvement of medical students and professionals in the racket. The doctor was arrested based on specific input and after months of monitoring of the drug abuse in the college premises,’’ said police.
