The arrest took place during a routine patrol by a team from the Sector-26 police station, which was actively monitoring the area to curb anti-social activities.
While on patrol near block No. 725 in Bapudham Colony, officers intercepted Gulshan on suspicion. A thorough search led to the recovery of 11.56 grams of heroin from his possession. Following the discovery, he was taken to the police station, where a case was registered under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Police investigations revealed that Gulshan has a criminal background, with five previous cases registered against him. These include offenses under the Arms Act, as well as charges of dacoity, theft, and NDPS violations. His history indicates a pattern of involvement in serious crimes.
