Booked under NDPS Act
Two youths were arrested under the NDPS Act after the police recovered a substantial quantity of intoxicating tablets during a patrol on the Nakodar Road-Bhanoki stretch in Phagwara.
Phagwara SP Madhvi Sharma said here today that a police party was conducting checking in connection with the search for anti-social elements. The team was proceeding from the Nakodar road towards village Bhanoki when they reached near a brick kiln along the road.
Two young men were spotted approaching on foot from the opposite direction. Upon noticing the police presence, both allegedly attempted to flee towards a kutcha path adjacent to the kiln. During the brief chase, one of the youths reportedly threw a black-coloured polythene packet from his trouser's pocket into the grass, while the other also discarded a similar black packet.
The police team apprehended both suspects and recovered the discarded packets. Upon questioning, the first accused identified himself as Parvinder Bains, alias Sonu, of Behram, and the second accused disclosed his identity as Suraj Kumar, alias Sanju, of village Jagpalpur ner Phagwara.
During inspection, the police found a transparent envelope containing 58 intoxicating tablets. Similarly, from the second packet, 50 tablets were recovered. In total, 108 tablets were seized from the possession of the accused.
Following the recovery, both accused were taken into custody and a case was registered under the NDPS Act. The seized tablets have been taken into possession.
