Who Is Harsha Sunny
Harsha Sunny is a Kerala-based model who participated in Mrs Kerala Global 2025. Her Instagram feed is all about her modelling assignments and travel diaries. Her last post on the social media platform was from Bangkok.
She posted a carousel from Thailand's capital. The caption read, "Serving looks with a Bangkok backdrop." From the pictures, she appears to be like any ordinary model trying to make a name for herself.

Harsha Sunny Arrested In Drug Smuggling Case
Harsha Sunny was stopped at the Mumbai airport, and when her luggage was searched, the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) and Customs Department officials found 12 vacuum-sealed plastic packets. The green substance was then subjected to on-the-spot chemical tests using a Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) kit, confirming that it was 'hydroponic marijuana'.
After her arrest, Sunny was produced before the Fort Court, which remanded her to judicial custody. She told Customs officials that she made a friend during the trip who allegedly persuaded her to carry the bag filled with 'hydroponic marijuana' to India.
In the ongoing probe, the authorities are trying to find out where she was smuggling the drug to, and for how long she had been supplying contraband weed across other Indian cities.
