Around 100 gm of cocaine was allegedly found in her handbag, and other parts of the car, police said.

Acting on a tip-off, sleuths of the New Alipore police station made the arrests when she was parking the car, an officer said.

"She was involved in drug trafficking for quite some time. Today, we got information that she along with her supplier Prabir was reaching the spot to hand over the drugs to the purchasers," the officer said.

A team of policemen in eight vehicles surrounded Goswami's car and made the arrests, he said.

"An investigation into the matter is underway. We are trying to find out whether she is involved in any drug racket," the officer said.

The BJP said that it suspects the police's role in the drugs recovery but if Goswami was wrong, the law should take its course.

"We had earlier seen that the state police had named several BJP activists in arms cases. I do not have much information about this incident that is why I will not be able to say more. Pamela is a young girl. If she has done anything wrong, the law will take its course," BJP MP Locket Chatterjee said.
