A case under the NDPS Act was subsequently registered at the Damtal police station.
Nurpur Superintendent of Police Kulbhushan Verma stated that during interrogation, the arrested duo revealed the identity of another accomplice linked to the racket. Following a thorough investigation, the police arrested 22-year-old Manmohan Singh, alias Biru, a resident of Bhadroya village, last evening.
