A general store in Gorai was found selling 50 gm of rice for Rs 1500—not as food, but as a cover for an illegal trade. Instead of rice, customers were secretly being provided with ganja. The illegal operation was uncovered when the Borivli police, acting on a tip-off, raided the shop. During the raid, approximately 750 gm of ganja were recovered from the premises. The police have arrested a 21-year-old shopkeeper and seized ganja worth around Rs 15,000.

According to police sources, the accused has been identified as Mahipal Singh Rathod. Under the guidance of DCP Anand Bhoite (Zone XI) and Senior Inspector Maloji Shinde, a team led by Police Inspector Milind Nagpure and PSI Parmod Nimbalkar (ATC) conducted the raid. The operation happened last week at a grocery shop in Sector 2, Plot 188, Trimbakeshwar Society in Gorai, Borivli West. The police team recovered ganja from the shop in different packets of 7 gm, 20 gm, and 50 gm, totalling 749 gm.
