In a swift act of vigilance, Bandra police station arrested 24-year-old Tabassum Bashir Mohammad Gani for drug peddling near Mumbai’s Y Bridge by Lal Mithri slums. The incident occurred during a standard patrol when officers noticed her clutching a suspicious black plastic bag.
Attempting to flee upon sighting the police, Tabassum was quickly overpowered. Questioning revealed her Bandra West address, but her vague responses about the bag prompted a thorough search. The discovery of ganja, confirmed by its unmistakable smell, led to charges under the NDPS Act.
Court appearance resulted in police custody, allowing deeper investigation into her drug procurement and distribution links. Authorities aim to uncover accomplices and prevent future supplies in the area.
Meanwhile, Mumbai’s anti-hoarding drive intensified with a major raid in Dongri’s Wadi Bandar. The Food and Civil Supplies flying squad, tipped off by rationing controllers, halted eight trucks carrying 451 LPG cylinders illegally. Valued at more than 40 lakh rupees, the seizure disrupts a syndicate exploiting essential fuel shortages, reflecting robust enforcement against economic crimes.
