Pune Police Use PIT-NDPS Act for First Time Against Repeat Drug Suspect
Pune police have invoked the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT-NDPS) Act, 1988, for the first time in the city against 32-year-old Reena Ravi Ghumane. She was previously booked twice under the NDPS Act in 2022 and 2025 and granted bail both times. Authorities detained her preventively to stop alleged repeated involvement in illegal drug activities and lodged her at Kolhapur Central Prison. Similar PIT-NDPS cases have occurred in Navi Mumbai and Nagpur.
