Delhi Police arrested Manoj Kumar Rai, a 53-year-old man from Bihar, for allegedly selling 1.32 kg of cannabis while posing as an ice-cream vendor in central Delhi's Kamla Market area. Rai was apprehended on August 8 near MCD Nursery during routine patrol after a constable noticed a bag emitting the smell of ganja.

An FIR was registered, and investigations continue to trace the contraband's source and other involved individuals.
