Bhopal Drug Racket Busted: Doctors, Gym Trainers Arrested
Imagine a secret club where people were tricked into using a drug called MD.
Doctors said it could help with mental health, and gym trainers claimed it would help lose weight.
Two men, Saifuddin and Ashu, were selling this drug, especially to young women.
They made it seem like it would make them look and feel better.
They used tricks like giving the drug for free at parties to get people hooked.
