The police identified the suspect as Dheeraj Kumar Yadav of Jenotola in West Bengal. Acting on the information, the SIU team raided his rented accommodation and found him in possession of 1.212 kg of cannabis. The authorities arrested him and registered a case under Section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

During the investigation, Dheeraj revealed that he had arrived in Solan just four days ago and had brought the cannabis from Nepal. The police are now looking into his previous criminal record to gather more information about his involvement in drug trafficking.

Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh said, “This seizure is part of our commitment to curb drug-related activities in the region.” Dheeraj was produced in court today, and further investigations are underway to uncover the full extent of his operations.
