Mumbai police seize more than 15,000 bottles of codeine-based cough syrup and about 1 kg of charas, arresting two people in connection with the haul. Officials say the drugs are meant for distribution in and around Mumbai.
According to reports, the consignment is allegedly transported in a passenger bus route linking Gujarat and Mumbai. The case focuses on suspected smuggling into Mumbai, with the trafficking plan described as targeting Mumbai, Bhiwandi and nearby areas as distribution points. Both outlets describe the same broad pattern: drug cough syrup is carried from Gujarat to Mumbai by bus, with charas found alongside it, and two persons taken into custody. Differences, if any, are limited to phrasing about the route and the targeted localities rather than the underlying facts of the seizure and arrests.
