2. The petition is opposed by filing a status report asserting that the police party was on a patrolling duty on 08.04.2025. They received a secret information at 4:00 PM that a vehicle bearing registration No. PB01E-9829 was transporting a huge quantity of heroin. The information was credible, and the delay in procuring the warrant would have led to the destruction of the heroin; hence, the information under Section 42(2) of the NDPS Act was sent to the SDPO, Theog. The police associated Devender Singh as an independent witness and set up a nakka. The police intercepted a vehicle bearing registration No. PB01E- 9829. The driver revealed his name as Mohammad Mohin. The person sitting beside the driver revealed his name as Abhishek Mehra. The person sitting on the rear seat identified himself as Robin Singh (the petitioner), and the person beside him identified herself as Sabana @ Mahi. The police searched the vehicle and recovered 54.420 grams of heroin from the bag kept on the rear seat. The police seized the heroin and arrested the occupants of the vehicle. The petitioner revealed during the investigation that he had purchased the heroin from Shinu for Rs. 1,00,000/- on credit. He also made a disclosure statement on 10.04.2025 and identified Ajay Thakur as the person who had sold the heroin to the petitioner. The substance was sent to FSL and was confirmed to be Dicetylmorphine (heroin). The certificate of identity was sent to the police station, however, the same has not been returned. The petitioner is involved in the sale of heroin. The petitioner is a resident of a different state, and he would abscond in case of his release on bail; hence, the status report.
