Mumbai NDPS Courts Rule Differently on Bail for Women Arrested with Drugs
Two women arrested at Mumbai airport for drug-related offenses faced different bail outcomes. A 33-year-old woman caught with over 6 kg of cocaine was denied bail despite her infant's medical needs, as the court found insufficient medical evidence. Meanwhile, a 24-year-old woman arrested with 3.46 kg of ganja was granted one-month interim bail due to post-surgery bleeding, with conditions including surrendering her passport and court appearance after bail expiry. Both cases involved special NDPS courts and medical considerations.
