The Mankhurd police have arrested two men on charges of consuming narcotic substances at Lallubhai Compound in Mankhurd on Friday night. A lighter pistol and a fake CBI identity card were allegedly recovered from one of the accused during a search.
The accused have been identified as Devendra Singh Raghuvir Singh Chundawat, 20, from Panvel, and Gokul Piram Kshatriya, 24, also from Panvel. Police constable Dhiraj Yashwant Patil received a tip-off and laid a trap near Paanch Nall, leading to the arrests.
A case has been registered under the NDPS Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigation is ongoing.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The use of a fake CBI identity card alongside a weapon raises concerns about impersonation of central agencies, which could be exploited for extortion or cover for illegal activities. In a similar case last month, Bhoiwada police arrested a man posing as a CBI officer. The Mankhurd arrests indicate this pattern may be more widespread in the Mumbai region. The next step will be for police to investigate whether the accused were part of a larger network or acting independently.
