In a recent court case in Mumbai, a special NDPS court denied bail to 33-year-old Pooja Lal, who was arrested at the international airport last year with more than 6 kg of cocaine concealed in packets of chocolates and cookies. Lal's lawyer argued that her infant daughter, born prematurely seven months ago, required her maternal care.
However, the prosecution presented several reasons against granting bail, including alleged admissions of involvement in smuggling and the absence of medical evidence certifying the necessity of the mother's presence for the child's care. The court noted the lack of sufficient medical evidence showing exceptional circumstances warranting bail and rejected the plea.
