Five African peddlers were arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) from South Mumbai on Friday. The police suspect the arrested were involved in injuring an RPF constable, who was attacked with stones and a bamboo stick a few days ago.

Shivdeep Lande, DCP, ANC, said, "On Friday night, when ANC Azad Maidan unit officials were patrolling near P D'Mello Rd, they spotted a few African men travelling in a cab, who looked suspicious." The police stopped and questioned them. During the search, they found a black carry bag on them, which contained cocaine, MDMA and mephedrone, an official added.
