A dental science student studying in Davangere has been arrested for drug-related offenses after allegedly ignoring a prior warning from the police. The student, originally from Tumakuru, was found to be involved in the use of banned substances and was detained along with four others, including two Nigerian nationals.

According to police officials, the student had previously been cautioned about suspected drug activity. Despite this, he continued to consume MDMA and was later caught during a coordinated operation by local law enforcement. The investigation revealed that the student had been using drugs even while attending dental college, disregarding earlier alerts from authorities.

The arrest was part of an ongoing crackdown on narcotics distribution in the region. Police sources indicated that the student’s actions had drawn attention due to continued substance abuse and suspected connections to drug peddlers. His association with the other accused individuals, particularly the foreign nationals, is currently under detailed investigation.

Authorities are working to identify the supply network and determine how the banned substances were sourced. Investigators are also exploring whether the student was part of a broader drug consumption circle or if he had played a role in distribution. The police emphasized that the initial warning given to the student was in line with standard procedures aimed at preventing youth involvement in illegal drug use.

The case has sparked concern among educational institutions in the area, highlighting the growing challenge of drug abuse among college students. Law enforcement officials have called for enhanced awareness campaigns and stronger monitoring in hostels and campuses to curb the spread of narcotics.

As the investigation continues, police are collecting further evidence to support formal charges. Authorities are also coordinating with drug enforcement agencies to trace the source of the narcotics and assess the full extent of the student’s involvement.

The arrested individuals remain in custody, and legal proceedings are expected to follow once the inquiry is complete.
