Mumbai Customs Arrest Two Passengers From Bangkok With Concealed MarijuanaPreviousNext

Mumbai Airport Customs arrested two passengers arriving from Bangkok for allegedly carrying marijuana concealed in food packets within their luggage. A 19-year-old student from Ulhasnagar was found with 960 grams, claiming he was unaware of the contents, while a 29-year-old man was caught with about 2 kilograms. Both arrests followed spot profiling and searches at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Investigations are ongoing to identify accomplices and dismantle the trafficking network under the NDPS Act.
