39 Arrested, Drugs Worth Rs 55 Crore Seized in Bengaluru
The police in a city called Bengaluru did a big operation to catch people who sell illegal drugs.
Illegal drugs are substances that are against the law because they can hurt people.
They arrested 39 people.
Some of these people came from other countries, and some came from other parts of India.
They also took away a lot of drugs that cost about 55 crore rupees.
