Drug peddler cop drags in senior Police and Customs officers

By Vijay Kumar

RECENTLY a police constable was arrested in Satara (Maharashtra), when police found 110 kgs of mephedrone drug in his house. The market value of this would run into crores. Later the police found 12 kgs of the drug in his cupboard at the police station. Maybe he was running a retail shop at the police station. They also found Rs. 30,000 cash in his cupboard.

The constable told the court, "The gravity of the offence has enhanced because certain customs officials as well as senior police officers are involved in the facilitation or commission of the crime out of greed for easy money of huge quantum."
