According to the police, the youth, identified as Sarfaraz Abdul Ahmed, 26, was first spotted during the patrolling near Raheja Bridge at Sion-Mahim Link Road. At first, he avoided eye contact and started to increase his walking pace as he noticed the police jeep. Noticing his suspicious movements, police gradually started to follow him, throughout the bridge. “As we followed him, his speed of walking increased, and then he started running away,” said an official, adding that the police team left their vehicle to chase him down.
After a good chase scene lasting for 5-7 minutes, police caught Ahmed, who had a pista-coloured bag in his possession. With the look of it, it was a brown-coloured substance, and with further inspection, it turned out to be heroin. Reportedly, heroin even though appears white crystalline power-like substance, the low-quality, relatively cheap version of heroin seems brown in colour, which is why heroin is also referred to as “brown sugar”.
