Rats to the 'rescue' of alleged drug pushers

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court granted bail to two persons accused of carrying drugs when the defence appealed that the envelope containing the drug sample, which was torn off by rats, could have been tampered with.

Special judge Narottam Kaushal granted relief to Devender Singh and Rajeev Dikshit, who have been charged under the Narcotics Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, on a personal bond and two Surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each.

The counsel for the accused cited a witness statement, stating that the case property (diacetylmorphine) was found inside a torn paper envelope, nibbled by rats in such a manner that the polythene packet with the drugs could have been removed without tampering with the seals.

Singh and Dikshit were arrested last year after being found in possession of 500 grams of the substance. Eight pistols and rifles with ammunition were also recovered from them by the Narcotics branch."
