On August 31, 2026, authorities at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) apprehended a man for allegedly smuggling a significant amount of suspected hydroponic cannabis. The accused, Mohammad Aman Dosani, a resident of Mumbra in Thane, was intercepted after clearing immigration from Bangkok.

When questioned, Dosani claimed ignorance of the bag's contents, stating it was handed to him by a Mr. Pandey, who instructed him to deliver it to an undisclosed location in India. Upon further investigation, including the seizure of Dosani's passport and boarding pass, his arrest ensued. Preliminary findings suggest Dosani's involvement in the illegal import of cannabis, with potential accomplices, including Mr. Pandey, yet to be identified. Dosani was subsequently placed in judicial custody.
