According to the police, the trio allegedly supplied the drugs to two men, Minshad and Shajil, who were arrested by the Kaipamangalam Police on November 12 with 34.990 grammes of the banned substance.
Investigations reportedly linked the seized drugs to the three suspects after police interrogated the two men initially arrested.
The development prompted a team of officers from the Kaipamangalam Police Station and the District Anti-Narcotic Special Action Force to trace the alleged suppliers to their hideout in Tiruppur.
The officers subsequently raided the flat where the suspects were staying and arrested them.
The three suspects were taken to the Kaipamangalam Police Station for further investigation and documentation.
Police said they would be produced before a court as part of remand proceedings.
MDMA, also known as Molly or Ecstasy, is a banned psychoactive substance.
