The arrested individuals have been identified as Nawab alias Jamshed Khan (31), Ayush Amrit Meshram (21), and Rohit Ravindra Singh (26). Another accused, Shahana Waje alias Pakya Mohammad Arif, managed to flee and is currently being traced by multiple police teams.
According to officials, the suspects were spotted acting suspiciously near their vehicles during patrol duty. Upon inspection in the presence of witnesses, the team discovered narcotics in their possession. A formal case has been registered under the NDPS Act.
This successful operation marks another strong step in Nagpur Police’s ongoing war against narcotics, with investigators suggesting that the arrests could lead to the unmasking of a wider city drug network.
