“Rats Allegedly Consumed 19 kg of Confiscated Cannabis! Shocking Details”

Strangely, Dhanbad police claim that a large amount of bhang and marijuana that had been taken as evidence had been eaten by rats. This strange scenario happened during a recent Jharkhand drug case court hearing.

Specifics of Arrest and Seizure

On December 14, 2018, the police found 10 kg of marijuana (ganja) and 9 kg of cannabis (bhang) in the possession of local businessman Shambhu Aggarwal and his son.

The Rat Consumption Claim

A lower court judge instructed the investigating officer, Jay Prakash Prasad, to produce the seized drugs during a later court appearance. Remarkably, the police refused to present the proof, claiming that the stockpile had been eaten by rats during its storage in the police warehouse.

Investigative and Legal Reaction

In reaction to these allegations, Shambhulal and his son, the accused, asserted their innocence and said they had been wrongly accused. They questioned why the police could not follow the court’s orders and deliver the drugs they had seized.

The Dhanbad Superintendent of Police has launched a thorough inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the purported eating of such a significant amount of ganja and bhang by a rat in the wake of this remarkable incidence.

In order to avoid future occurrences of this unusual situation, increased investigation into the security and storage procedures of confiscated evidence has been necessitated by the considerable attention and scepticism it has attracted.
