Mohali: The Zirakpur police arrested two youths on VIP Road and seized 400 grams of cannabis following a vehicle intercept during a routine checkpoint operation. The accused are Ravi Pal, a resident of Kaithal in Haryana, and Sunny, a resident of Baltana. Both individuals were taken into custody after attempting to flee the police team in a black Scorpio SUV.The operation unfolded when a patrolling police team signaled the black SUV, which was operating without a registration number plate, to pull over for inspection. Instead of stopping, the occupants allegedly sped away, triggering a police chase. The police intercepted the vehicle a short distance away near Mcare Hospital.During the interception, the suspect sitting in the front passenger seat threw a green envelope out of the SUV window. Police officers retrieved the discarded packet and discovered a substance inside that was later weighed and confirmed as 400 grams of cannabis in the presence of ASI Rajiv Kumar.A case has been registered against the duo under Sections 20, 61, and 85 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at the Zirakpur police station. Law enforcement officials have launched a further investigation to trace the exact source of the seized contraband and to identify potential links to a larger drug trafficking network.
