Rupnagar Police swung into action in Sri Chamkaur Sahib, arresting three men and seizing 76 illicit intoxicant capsules after a citizen filmed the suspects consuming contraband inside a public restroom.
The clip spread across social media within hours. It captured two brothers confronted inside the municipal toilet stall, where they initially claimed they had entered merely to use the facilities. But the handheld video told a different story, catching the illicit consumption on camera and triggering rapid police intervention across Rupnagar district.
A citizen confronted the suspects in real time, recording their evasive answers before lodging an alert with law enforcement. Sri Chamkaur Sahib police station personnel moved in shortly after receiving complaints from local residents regarding open narcotics use in the neighborhood.
Officers intercepted the trio, searched them on the spot, and confiscated 76 pharmaceutical intoxicant capsules. All three suspects underwent clinical chemical screenings immediately following their detention. The results were conclusive: each suspect tested positive on their respective dope tests.
Police received information from some individuals about youths allegedly consuming drugs in the area. Acting on the complaint, police arrested three persons and recovered 76 intoxicant capsules from them.
