The police claim that 700 kg of mephedrone were seized along with the arrest of three drug smugglers in Pune, marking the start of the operation. Following their interrogation, 400 kg more of the synthetic stimulant were seized from godown-style buildings in the Hauz Khas neighborhood of Delhi.

Mephedrone was kept in storage in Pune, namely in the Kurkumbh MIDC area, in another sizable shipment.
