On November 2, at 20:00 hours, officers and personnel from the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) team of the Bangur Nagar Police Station were patrolling Link Road in Goregaon West, Mumbai. Near Shivam Society on the southbound side of Link Road, they stopped an individual—Phul Chandra Ishwar Dayal Kashyap, aged 38, a resident of Madh Village, Malad West, Mumbai (originally from Uttar Pradesh)—on the basis of suspicion and conducted a search. During the search, 5.97 grams of cocaine, with an estimated value of ₹2,98,500, was recovered from his possession and seized in the presence of witnesses (as documented in a panchnama).

Suspecting that the accused might be in possession of a larger quantity of narcotics, a search of his residence was conducted. In the early hours of November 3, at 03:02 AM, a total of 4,221 grams of cocaine—with an estimated value of ₹21,10,50,000 (twenty-one crore, ten lakh, fifty thousand rupees)—was discovered at his home in Madh Village, Malad West. This was seized, and a detailed panchnama of the house search was prepared. Consequently, a case (Crime No. 1039/2026) was registered against the individual at the Bangur Nagar Police Station under Sections 8(c) and 21(c) of the NDPS Act, 1985. During the interrogation regarding the seized narcotics, the suspect identified an accomplice—Mujahid Ali, a resident of Madhya Pradesh—as having been involved in the commission of the crime. Consequently, the police team has arrested Mujahid Ali as part of the ongoing investigation. To date, a total of 4,226.97 grams of cocaine, valued at Rs 21,13,48,500 (twenty-one crore, thirteen lakh, forty-eight thousand, five hundred rupees), has been seized in connection with this case.

Further investigation is underway to determine the source of the seized cocaine, the intended recipients, and the identities of any other individuals who may have assisted the two suspects in this illicit activity.
This operation was carried out by DCP Purushottam Karad, under the directives of Police Commissioner Deven Bharti.

In connection with a shooting and murder case at the McDonald Compound near Halav Bridge in Kurla, Mumbai, the police have claimed the arrest of two assailants, one of whom is a minor. The accused, Nepal Pawar, carried out the crime alongside a minor associate. Both were taken into custody in the Powai area and subsequently placed under formal arrest. Investigating Officer Dipali Kulkarni led her team, utilizing technical investigative methods, which ultimately resulted in the apprehension of the suspects. Furthermore, the weapon used in the crime—a locally-made firearm—was recovered; the accused had dismantled it after the shooting and discarded the various parts in different locations. The police have stated that the murder stemmed from a personal vendetta, and the investigation is currently focused on this motive. While two individuals have been arrested, the police are continuing to investigate who else may have assisted in the execution of the shooting and the source from which the weapon was obtained. Following the arrests, the police have claimed to have solved the case. It is worth noting that, in the aftermath of the shooting, a protest took place outside the local police station, where demonstrators expressed their outrage and demanded the immediate arrest of the perpetrators. The police had formed several teams to resolve the case, which eventually led to this breakthrough. Following the daylight shooting, Additional Commissioner (East Region) Dhananjay Kulkarni and DCP Ganesh Shinde inspected the crime scene, while a forensic team collected evidence. The team was active on the ground, which led to the swift arrest of the suspects. This was the second shooting incident within six months; maintaining law and order posed a significant challenge for the police, yet they proved that no task is impossible once a firm resolve is made. A member of this same family had been targeted in a previous shooting as well. Following the murders of two individuals from the same family within a six-month span, the situation had become tense.
