A high-ranking police official in Madhya Pradesh has publicly exposed alleged police involvement in narcotic cough syrup trafficking. Inspector General Gaurav Rajput of Rewa Range claims to possess a list of officers complicit in the multi-crore drug network extending from Bhopal to Delhi. Despite recent seizures worth lakhs of rupees, Rajput suggests these operations are insufficient, as the addictive codeine-based syrup continues to infiltrate every community, transforming Rewa from a region known for temples and tiger reserves into what's now called the 'Corex Capital' of Madhya Pradesh.
