An official said that the police arrested a man on Friday who allegedly set up a laboratory in his office in the Satana district of Surat, Gujarat to manufacture the banned drug methamphetamine (meth).

A few days ago, Surat police arrested a Pravin Bishnoi, a native of Jalor, Rajasthan, carrying 58 grams of methamphetamine, worth 558,000 rupees.

Investigations revealed that Bishnoi came to Surat on November 9 and handed the contraband to Jamin Suwani, a member of Satana, Surat Police Chief Ajtomar said.

"We caught Savani from his home in the Bhavnagar district and brought him here. He admitted that he was addicted to drugs and started selling drugs to make money. Because he found that the drug trade was profitable, he decided to make methamphetamine and to A small laboratory was built in his office," the official said.

He said that a police team raided Salvaney's office in the Rajville Building in Satana and confiscated glass beakers, stoves and glass connectors, as well as some raw materials such as liquid methanol.

The official said that Suwanee claimed that he learned some drug-making techniques by watching YouTube videos, and drug dealers from Rajasthan also provided him with guidance.

Tomar said that because the defendant had just started the experiment in the laboratory, he had not succeeded in manufacturing the contraband, adding that Suwanee purchased the raw materials online through an e-commerce platform.
