Reputation of Russian police in Russia is quite high. Coincidentally, crime rates in Russia are less than in some of "more developed" countries. Especially considering that even theft of $1 in Russia is considered a crime and investigated by police, whereas in many developed countries police doesn't even attempt to investigate thefts for sums less than $100-$300 or theft of an insured property (bike, car), and that greatly distorts crime rate statistics making comparison difficult if even possible. Also, it doesn't really matter in this case. There's no reason for them to plant drugs on this woman and they would not do that. On planes from India people are regularly caught with drugs. This is because India (among many other reasons) popular as a place where you can easily and cheaply buy any kind of drug, especially marijuana and hashish. It happened many times before this young woman and will happen after. I wouldn't be surprised if luggage on every plane departing India is thoroughly checked, you'll find some amount of drugs on any plane. There's no need to plant anything.
