It was alleged that a passenger, Suresh Kumar Nagarajan, who was departing to Kuala Lumpur by the Malaysia Airlines was stopped at the Baggage Screen Machine (BSM) over some suspicious psychotropic substance which was later identified as Methaqualone.

Nagarajan, who has worked as a vegetable vendor in Chennai, was arrested under the provisions of NDPS Act, 1985 and was produced before the Mumbai Court. The court has sent the accused to Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail on judicial custody.
