The accused were identified as Parasram Meghwal, a resident of Pratapgarh in Rajasthan and his son-in-law Dharmendra Chauhan, a resident of Ratlam. The accused were going to deliver the consignment to Howrah in West Bengal but the Pardeshipura police caught them on Thursday night, the police added. Indore Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP, Zone 2), Abhinay Vishwakarma said, "We received information about a few suspects may pass with some stuff from the Pardeshipura police station area after which during the routine checks, the police intercepted two individuals and interrogated them. Upon searching, the police recovered 7.695 kg brown sugar from them." The police registered a case against them under NDPS act and took them into custody. In the preliminary interrogation, Parasram told the police that he brought the brown sugar from Pratapgarh and was going to supply it to Howrah in West Bengal. Parasram had already supplied the consignment twice to West Bengal, the officer said. DCP further said that Parasram worked in opium fields in Pratapgarh, while his son-in-law Dharmendra worked as a labourer in Ratlam in MP.

Further investigation into the matter is underway, he added. (ANI)
