This person claims to be a Lawyer of Supreme Court. I need to fact check his credentials
Not only officer from NCB, even Excise, Customs and DRI can conduct raid according to section 42 of NDPS Act.1985.
Section 43 is even more slap on this lawyer of Supreme Court.
43. Power of seizure and arrest in public place.—Any officer of any of the departments mentioned in section 42 may—
(a) seize in any public place or in transit, any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance or controlled substance in respect of which he has reason to believe an offence punishable under this Act has been committed
(b) detain and search any person whom he has reason to believe to have committed an offence punishable under this Act, and if such person has any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance or controlled substance in his possession and such possession appears to him to be unlawful, arrest him and any other person in his company.
