Mumbai Court Convicts Six in 2015 Oshiwara MD Case
A Mumbai court decided that six people were guilty in a drug-making case from 2015.
The case involved a flat in Oshiwara where authorities said MD was being manufactured.
Officers found finished drugs, partly made drugs and liquid chemicals there.
One accused was first arrested with 1 kilogram of MD near a hotel.
