On September 5, 2026, the Mumbai Police's Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) made two separate arrests in Versova and Pydhonie, recovering a significant amount of heroin and cough syrup. In Versova, the ANC's Kandivali Unit intercepted 323 grams of heroin, valued at Rs 64.60 lakh, reportedly being smuggled into the city. Two individuals were arrested and charged under Sections 8(c), 21(c) and 29 of the NDPS Act.
In a separate incident in Pydhonie, the ANC's Azad Maidan Unit apprehended an individual allegedly engaged in trafficking codeine phosphate-based cough syrup. The unit seized 367 bottles, worth Rs 3.67 lakh. The investigation into this cough syrup racket commenced on July 17 when the unit detained a suspect on suspicion of drug-related activities. This led to the recovery of 157 bottles, after which he was arrested under the relevant provisions of the NDPS Act.
Further probing, based on information gathered during the interrogation, led to the arrest of another person involved in cough syrup trafficking in Masjid Bunder Road, during a follow-up operation. Ongoing investigations are being conducted in both cases. For property insights in Mumbai and nearby regions, visit https://budgetproperties.in/.
