Mumbai Railway Protection Force (RPF) found an unclaimed bag on June 30 around 04.30 am at Dadar railway station and during the inspection, they found Ganja (weed) inside the bag. According to the sources of RPF, Inspector Vinita Shukla was on her routine round up when she noticed an unclaimed bag on platform number 6 between the escalators at Dadar railway station.
An officer stated, "We checked the bag on suspicious grounds with metal detectors but nothing dangerous was detected. Hence we thought someone must have forgotten their luggage so we brought the bag to the RPF post. But since nobody came forward to claim it, the officers decided to check it. After following the proper procedures, we opened the bag and found five packets."
