Although the initial investigation revealed no evidence of charges, the police continued their search and eventually discovered a strange building hidden inside the car.

As the police entered the clandestine chamber they caught hold of 15 soap bottles hidden with brown sugar, with a total weight of about 184 grams. The estimated street value of the seized drugs is Rs. 15 lakhs and laid an emphasis on illegal activities that have been seriously disrupted by law enforcement. The authorities immediately seized the vehicle with registration number MN 01 AK 5059, along with its arrested driver identified as Mohammad Minnajuddin.
