Police Intercept Vehicle with Illegal Substance
According to reports, a Haryana-registered vehicle (HR 59F 0853) was traveling from Shimla to Rohru when it was stopped by the police for a routine inspection. Upon searching the vehicle, officers discovered the illegal substance hidden inside. The two women in the vehicle, identified as Neelam (30), a resident of Old Jubbal, and Maninder Kaur (38), from Yamunanagar, Haryana, were immediately arrested for possession of the drugs.
Legal Action Under NDPS Act
A case has been filed against both women under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Authorities have initiated a full investigation to uncover the source of the drugs and to determine the intended recipients of the contraband.

Police Commitment to Tackling Drug Menace
SP Shimla, Sanjeev Gandhi, confirmed the arrest and emphasized the police’s commitment to eradicating drug trafficking in the district. “We are fully dedicated to curbing the drug menace and will leave no stone unturned in our investigations. We are also strengthening our efforts to intercept such consignments before they reach the local population,” Gandhi stated.
The arrest comes as part of the continued efforts by the Shimla Police to tackle growing concerns about drug abuse and trafficking in Himachal Pradesh. In recent years, the state has faced rising incidents of drug-related offenses, and authorities have ramped up their surveillance and enforcement actions.
Community Support Vital in the Fight Against Drugs
