On 10.08.2020 at about 7:00 a.m., Ormanjhi Police intercepted a vehicle bearing registration No. RJ-19GE-2702. On search, 17 kgs. of opium and 1860 kgs. of Doda were recovered from the said vehicle.
It was submitted that petitioner was neither apprehended at the spot nor anything was recovered from his possession. It was further submitted that the name of the petitioner has come in the confession of co-accused persons.
