Drug Plot Foiled: Man Accused of Framing Car Owner

An incident involving an alleged attempt to frame a car owner under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has led to a case registration by Vadaj police. The events unfolded on April 4, 2025, when police were alerted to suspicious packets in a parked car. Although an initial search yielded nothing, a hidden cavity revealed a pouch containing 1.95g of powder. Preliminary tests and subsequent FSL analysis confirmed the presence of alprazolam, a controlled substance, along with other compounds.

Investigation revealed that the driver, acting on the caller's instructions, placed the drugs in the vehicle. Police suspect a deep-seated social and family dispute between the caller and the car owner fueled this alleged conspiracy. The caller's refusal to undergo a polygraph test, contrasted with the driver's cooperation, has bolstered the police's case against both individuals. They have been booked under relevant sections of the NDPS Act for conspiracy and abetment.
