Mumbai police seized 3.86 kilograms of hashish from the residence of a 75-year-old woman in the western suburbs of Mumbai. The woman is suspected to have been running a drug supply chain. The raid at Bandra house was a consequence of a 57-year-old man being arrested with 160 grams of the contraband.
