Three Arrested in Odisha for Cough Syrup Smuggling
Police caught three people in Odisha for selling illegal cough syrup.
These syrups, called Wincerex and Eskuf, contain codeine, which is against the law.
The police found the syrup and some pills after getting a tip.
The people were caught in Bisipada.
They tried to get out of jail, but the court said no, so they're staying there.
The police are now trying to find out where the syrup came from and who else might be involved in this illegal drug business.
