A man died after he swallowed two packets of MDMA (Ecstasy) to escape a police check in Kerala’s Kozhikode, officials said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The incident took place in Ambayathode on Friday, when the local police launched an operation following inputs about use of drugs in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to officials, upon spotting the police, Iyyadan Shanid swallowed two packets of MDMA he had in his possession. He also tried to escape but was caught by the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shanid was taken to Kozhikode Medical College where doctors decided to perform a surgery to remove the packets, the officials said. The condition of the man, however, worsened and he died.<\/p>\n
Officials said a probe is underway and the body will be sent for postmortem.<\/p>\n
Prior to Shanid’s death, police had registered a case against him for possession of MDMA, the officials added.<\/p>\n
