Sahaspur Police arrested 34-year-old Shabnam in the Khushalpur area on March 25, 2026, after finding 7.53 grams of heroin in her possession, valued at approximately ₹2.20 lakh.
During interrogation, Shabnam confessed that she entered the drug trade to raise money for her husband's lawyer fees and bail. Her husband, Muntajir, is currently in jail for multiple offenses including cow slaughter, theft, and drug smuggling.
Police revealed that Shabnam was not a small-time peddler but had become part of an organized smuggling network, using her husband's old contacts to buy heroin at low prices and sell it for a profit.
She has been charged under various sections of the NDPS Act. Based on her information, the police are now tracking other members of the smuggling syndicate involved in the conspiracy.
