Dongri Police Arrest 3 Men, Seize Mephedrone in Mumbai
Police officers in Mumbai caught three men who were carrying illegal drugs.
The men were driving in a car with a fake police sign on it.
They used the fake sign so people would think the car belonged to the police.
But real police officers noticed the car parked in a suspicious spot.
Inside the car, they found a banned drug called mephedrone.
Mephedrone is a dangerous drug that people are not allowed to have.
The officers took the drugs and the car.
The two men in the car told the police that a third person sold them the drugs.
Police then found and arrested that person too.
Now the police are trying to find out where the drugs came from and who else is involved.
Dongri Police arrested three men for allegedly transporting mephedrone (MD) in a private car fitted with a fake 'POLICE' plate.
The accused are Zameer Siddiq Sayyed (26), Somnath Sharad Mahajan (30), and Mohammed Zeeshan Afsar Sayyed (29).
Police seized 7.2 grams of mephedrone, estimated to be worth around ₹1.08 lakh, along with the car bearing registration number MH-43-CC-3277.
The action took place on August 8 around 2.50 pm near the bridge opposite Sunni Masjid on S.V.P. Road in Wadi Bunder, Mumbai.
A case was registered under the NDPS Act, 1985 and Section 205 of BNS, 2023; the accused were remanded to police custody until the following day.
The two men arrested first allegedly identified Mohammed Zeeshan Afsar Sayyed as their supplier, leading to his arrest.
