The Borivali police recently uncovered a drug smuggling operation that allegedly involved minors to transport narcotics into Mumbai. The case came to light on October 17 when a 16-year-old boy was arrested at the Sudhir Fadke flyover bridge in possession of heroin.

Acting on a tip-off, police set a trap near the bridge and apprehended the boy, recovering 33 grams of heroin with an estimated street value of R 3.30 lakh. Further investigation revealed that two men, Jahangir Gaur and Farhan Gaur, originally from the boy’s village in Uttarakhand and now residing in Dindoshi, had used the boy to smuggle the drugs into the city.
