The court also imposed a fine of ₹1.10 lakh each on the convicts, identified as Rajat, alias Happy, 21, and Amanpreet Singh, 32.

On August 18, 2019, a police party was on VIP duty at the Barwala bus stand. Meanwhile, one Mahinder Pal, proprietor of MP Fast Food shop, located near the bus stand, informed the police that two young men were sitting in his shop and he doubted that they were in possession of some explosive substance.

Police reached the shop and checked the youths’ polythene bag, in which they found 59 vials of Bupine 2 ml injection and 60 vials of Avil injection.

A case under the NDPS Act and relevant sections of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act was registered at the Chandimandir police station against the duo on August 18, 2019.
