- The CID suspended the four on March 16 and Shimla police arrested them on March 19, with a court ordering four days of police remand on Friday.
- The case stems from a March 10 FIR after Shimla police seized 562 LSD strips weighing about 11.5 grams from Sandeep Sharma and Priya Sharma.

- Police allege STF personnel earlier intercepted a larger consignment in Kullu, kept the drugs instead of filing a case, and later returned portions to traffickers, with further arrests not ruled out.
