ACP (Crime) Mukund Hatote identified the couple as Salman (26) and Minaz Shaikh (23), hailing from Bandra in western Mumbai. A case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 has been registered against the couple at Vartak Nagar police station and further probe was on, an official said.
