    The court dismissed the bail application of Osita Modetus Obi, a foreign national accused of conspiring to smuggle 1.5kg of cocaine into India. The court found grave suspicion of his involvement based on forensic evidence showing constant communication with the smuggling handler, recovery of the handler's contact details and photographs of key conspirators from his mobile phone, and his interception while attempting to receive the contraband at a pre-planned location. The court held that Section 37 NDPS Act restrictions applied and Obi posed a flight risk given his foreign national status and lack of social roots.
