With exam time just around the corner, cops need to stay on alert. A report in this paper, quoting sources in the narcotics cell, said the sale of narcotics reaches a peak in schools and colleges during exam time. Some narcotic substances are known to enhance brain activity and reduce sleep, students are known to use them during peak stress and this is usually at exam time.

A senior police officer told this paper that they were keeping an eye out for such drugs. Following instructions, Mumbai police's Anti Narcotics Cell registered six cases, arrested 13 drug peddlers and suppliers and seized drugs worth over R35 lakh, in the past 24 hours.
