Rapido driver arrested as fourth accused in Tirupati MDMA case

A man who drives a bike for a money-making app was arrested by the police in a city in India called Tirupati.

The police say he was helping sell a dangerous illegal party drug called MDMA.

They caught him after they had already arrested three other people who were part of the same case.

He is 33 years old, and he told police he had a job driving for a service called Rapido in another city, Bengaluru.

He said he bought the drug at a low price from a person he talked to on WhatsApp.

Then he brought the drug to Tirupati and sold it to a friend for more money.

The police officer in charge of the district ordered the arrest.

Now the police are working with teams in Bengaluru to find everyone else involved.

They want to stop the whole drug trade before it spreads further.
