Bathinda, December 7

A video purportedly showing an alleged drug peddler accusing a Station House Officer of “abetting” drug supply has gone viral, prompting political parties to demand action against erring officials.

In the video, suspect Ramesh, alias Rambo, from the Dhobiana area, is seen seated beside SAD senior leader Sarup Chand Singla and levelling serious allegations against the Civil Lines police station SHO Ravinder Singh.

Terming the allegations as baseless, the SHO said: “The police are working to wipe out the drug menace. Rambo faces eight cases under the NDPS and Excise Acts and wants to pressure the police not to take action against him.” — TNS
