Shocking Arrest During Routine Vehicle Check at Dunkhra Chowk
In a major crackdown against narcotics smuggling in Himachal Pradesh, the Kullu police team successfully intercepted a drug transport attempt near the Manikaran valley. Acting on specific surveillance protocols, a police team stationed at Dunkhra Chowk under the Jari police post signaled a local taxi to halt for a routine vehicle inspection. Upon conducting a thorough search of the vehicle and its occupants, law enforcement officers recovered 200 grams of high-grade charas concealed within the belongings of a passenger seated in the rear.

The apprehended individual has been identified as a 28-year-old resident of Bengaluru, Karnataka. Police personnel immediately seized the contraband material and taken the suspect into custody under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Initial investigations reveal that the youth had traveled from South India to the tourist hotspot of Kullu and Parvati Valley, raising strong suspicions of an organized interstate drug network operating in the region.
