Which agency worked with the DRI to intercept the vehicle carrying amphetamine in Madhya Pradesh?

  1. A.Narcotics Control Bureau
  2. B.Central Bureau of Narcotics
  3. C.National Investigation Agency
  4. D.Central Bureau of Investigation

Correct answer

B. Central Bureau of Narcotics

Explanation

The correct answer is the Central Bureau of Narcotics, abbreviated CBN. It joined the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in stopping a Mahindra Thar at the Ujjain-Dewas Toll Plaza in Madhya Pradesh. The driver broke the barricade and drove off, and the officers chased the vehicle for about an hour and a half before cornering it near Bicholi Mardana in Indore. A search showed a hollow in the spare tyre on the rear door, where 21 packets holding 7.116 kg of a whitish-yellow crystalline substance were hidden. A field test kit confirmed amphetamine, and the three occupants were arrested.

The Narcotics Control Bureau, the National Investigation Agency and the Central Bureau of Investigation are all central agencies, which makes options A, C and D look plausible, but none of them is named as the partner in this interception.

Q1.NationalEasy

What was the total quantity of contraband drugs seized by the DRI in its three recent operations?

  1. A.7.116 kg
  2. B.15.59 kg
  3. C.21.5 kg
  4. D.4.9 kg
Show answer

Correct answer: B. 15.59 kg

Explanation

The correct answer is 15.59 kg. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence seized this cumulative quantity of amphetamine, cocaine and heroin in three separate intelligence-led operations carried out on 29 and 30 September 2026, and five persons were arrested under the NDPS Act, 1985. The total is made up of the amphetamine recovered near Indore, the cocaine found at Hyderabad airport and the heroin taken near Phillaur in Punjab.

Option A gives only the weight of the amphetamine pulled out of the spare tyre of the vehicle intercepted in Madhya Pradesh, so it is a part and not the whole. Option D gives only the cocaine recovered from the chocolate tubes at Hyderabad, which is again one share of the total. Option C is not a figure reported in any of the three cases. Adding the three recoveries together gives the cumulative seizure of 15.59 kg.

Q2.NationalMedium

At which airport did the DRI recover cocaine concealed inside chocolate tubes?

  1. A.Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi
  2. B.Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai
  3. C.Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad
  4. D.Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru
Show answer

Correct answer: C. Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad

Explanation

The correct answer is Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad. Acting on precise intelligence, officers there stopped an Indian passenger who had arrived from Doha. Seven chocolate tubes in his cabin baggage were heavier than their marked weight, and on being opened they were found to hold 207 pale-yellow oval capsules packed with a white powder. A narcotic drug detection kit confirmed the powder as cocaine, and the recovery came to 4.9 kg. The passenger was arrested under the NDPS Act, 1985.

The airports named in options A, B and D are among the busiest in the country, which makes them plausible choices, but none of them figures in this case. The other two operations of the same round took place on roads, one at the Ujjain-Dewas Toll Plaza in Madhya Pradesh and the other near Phillaur in Punjab, not at any airport.

Q3.NationalMedium

Which Governor was present at the Mahaparva Kshamapana Ceremony 2026 in New Delhi?

  1. A.Governor of Punjab, Gulab Chand Kataria
  2. B.Governor of Rajasthan, Gulab Chand Kataria
  3. C.Governor of Haryana, Kanhaiya Lal Jain
  4. D.Governor of Gujarat, Dinesh Doshi
Show answer

Correct answer: A. Governor of Punjab, Gulab Chand Kataria

Explanation

The correct answer is the Governor of Punjab, Gulab Chand Kataria, who attended the ceremony at Vigyan Bhawan. Option B names the same person but the wrong state, and is the kind of distractor a paper setter uses when a Governor has served in more than one state, so the state has to be matched carefully with the name given in the official account of the function. Option C is wrong on both counts, because Kanhaiya Lal Jain is the President of the Bhagwan Mahavir Memorial Committee and holds no gubernatorial office. Option D is likewise wrong, because Dinesh Doshi is the President of Jain Mahasabha Delhi. Besides the Governor, the gathering included Acharya Shri Visuddh Sagarji Muniraj and several monks, along with the office bearers of the organising bodies.

Q4.NationalMedium

Who was presented the Jain Samaj Ratna Award at the Mahaparva Kshamapana Ceremony 2026?

  1. A.Kanhaiya Lal Jain
  2. B.Dinesh Doshi
  3. C.K. C. Jain
  4. D.Vipin Jain
Show answer

Correct answer: C. K. C. Jain

Explanation

The correct answer is K. C. Jain, who was given the Jain Samaj Ratna Award by the Vice-President at the ceremony in New Delhi. Option A, Kanhaiya Lal Jain, is wrong because he is the President of the Bhagwan Mahavir Memorial Committee, one of the organising bodies, and was present on the occasion. Option B, Dinesh Doshi, is wrong because he is the President of Jain Mahasabha Delhi, the other organiser. Option D, Vipin Jain, is wrong because he is the General Secretary of the Shree Jain Tarun Samaj Bhagwan Mahaveer Memorial Samiti and also attended the function. Questions of this kind test whether a candidate can tell the recipient of an award apart from the office bearers of the bodies that organised the event, so the names should be learnt with their designations.

Q5.NationalEasy

The Mahaparva Kshamapana Ceremony 2026, addressed by the Vice-President, was held at which venue in New Delhi?

  1. A.Bharat Mandapam
  2. B.Vigyan Bhawan
  3. C.Rashtrapati Bhavan
  4. D.Talkatora Stadium
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Vigyan Bhawan

Explanation

The correct answer is Vigyan Bhawan. The ceremony, organised by the Bhagwan Mahavir Memorial Committee along with Jain Mahasabha Delhi, was held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, and the Vice-President described the occasion as a celebration of the universal values of forgiveness, friendship, non-violence and inner purification. Option A, Bharat Mandapam, is wrong for this ceremony; it is a large convention venue in the capital that hosts other functions. Option C, Rashtrapati Bhavan, is the official residence of the President and was not the venue. Option D, Talkatora Stadium, is another Delhi venue offered only as a distractor. Candidates should pair the name of the ceremony with its venue and its organisers, since a question can be framed on any one of the three details.
