This story began with a job. A young man from Rajasthan was dissatisfied with his income and soon dreamed of becoming rich. This thought changed his life. According to Nagaur Police, the 28-year-old Mahavir quit his job and started an illegal business that could earn crores of rupees.
The police claim that he allegedly converted a rented house into a narcotics factory where MDMA was being prepared. When the police arrived at the spot, even the investigators were surprised by the recovery. The police recovered 5.418 kg of MDMA along with approximately 2.744 kg of caffeine used in MDMA production, 24 types of chemicals, and about 210 liters of chemicals. According to the police, the international market value of the recovered MDMA and other materials is more than ₹100 crore.
Police investigation revealed that the accused Mahavir, a resident of Laxmanpura Kuchera and currently living in Deep Colony, Nagaur, previously had a job but found his earnings unsatisfactory. Driven by the desire to earn more money, he quit his job. According to the police investigation, he started attempting to manufacture MDMA between December 2025 and January 2026, although initial attempts were unsuccessful.
After this, he gathered information related to MDMA manufacturing from online sources and gradually understood the process. After quitting his job in February 2026, he started using the rented house in Nagaur for this illegal activity. The house looked ordinary from the outside, but inside, the entire setup for drug preparation was present.
In the police action, not only narcotics were found, but several equipment from the factory were also seized, including mixing machines, thermometers, magnetic stirrers, pH meters, glass beakers, glass jars, plastic pans, and large plates for drying MDMA. This indicated that it was not a small setup, but a fully established system.
A significant turning point in this story came on August 10, 2026, when the DST team received information. The police acted in Deep Colony, Nagaur, and arrested Mahavir with MDMA manufacturing materials. In this initial operation, the police stated that they recovered material worth over ₹20 crore. However, the case turned out to be even bigger after interrogation.
During technical examination, the police learned about another house located on Jodhpur Road, which was allegedly also being used for MDMA production. The police team went there, and what they found in the second operation changed the scale of the entire case. The police raided the location provided by Mahavir and recovered 5.418 kg of MDMA from there. Along with this, approximately 2.744 kg of caffeine used in MDMA production, 24 types of chemicals, and about 210 liters of chemicals were also seized, whose international market price is stated to be more than ₹100 crore.
Adding the figures from both operations, the initial recovery of material worth over ₹20 crore and the international value of over ₹100 crore in the second, the police action has exposed the vast picture of this alleged drug trade.
The investigation also revealed that Mahavir possessed about 10 to 12 mobile SIM cards. He did not use the same SIM for a long time and would change SIMs at intervals of about 10 days.
Currently, the police are investigating mobile contacts and clues to find out whom he talked to, where the chemicals came from, where he got the information to make MDMA, and where the finished goods were sent. The police investigation is no longer limited to Mahavir; the role of four of his associates has also come to light, and efforts are being made to link the network through questioning them.
Nagaur Police described this action as a major success under 'Operation Drug-Free Nagaur'. According to the police, another large alleged MDMA manufacturing factory was also uncovered within a week. However, the police still need to find out who financed this entire scheme, to which cities the supply reached, and whether it is linked to foreign countries. Currently, it is clear that the one who quit his job due to dissatisfaction with low earnings and dreamed of getting rich quickly led him to the alleged drug factory in Nagaur.
