Late on Sunday night, Dalkhola police received word that two women were moving suspiciously below the underpass of the National Highway 12 bypass toward the college, and officers reached the scene.[1] A search of the bags the women carried produced 11 kilograms of ganja.[1]

The arrested women were named as Nitu Ray and Artika Kapur, residents of the Matigara area of Siliguri.[1] Inspector-in-charge Sankha Chatterjee said a case was registered under BNS sections; produced before the Raiganj special court on Monday, both were remanded to 14 days’ judicial custody.[1] Police began questioning them on who was sending consignments on the Matigara to Dalkhola route and whether a larger ring is involved.[1]
