According to sources in the narcotics cell, the sale of narcotics reaches a peak in schools and colleges during exam time. As some narcotic substance enhances activity and reduces sleep, students are known to use them during stressful exam times. When mid-day spoke to DCP Shivdeep Lande, he said, "We are keeping an eye out for the peddling of such drugs." Following instructions, Mumbai police's Anti Narcotics Cell has registered 6 cases, arrested 13 drug peddlers and suppliers and seized drugs worth over Rs 35 lakh, in the last 24 hours.

Lande added, "We have seized maurijauna, heroin and other pharmaceutical drugs worth Rs 35,94,500 and we have arrested eight males and five females, including women mafia from northern Mumbai. Our investigations will continue."
