In 2003, Kishan Pal came in contact with one Ram Vraksh. He lured the accused into the illicit business for supply of controlled drugs. The same year the two were arrested by the Narcotics Branch of the Delhi Police allegedly with 25 kg of psychotropic drugs. Kishan Pal remained in jail for about three years and then got out on bail.
