He said, "Selling narcotics is illegal, the police can’t do so." I answered, "Then the police must be burning the stuff." He said, "How can police officers oversee the destruction of such costly, mouth-watering stuff in front of their own eyes?" I phoned my friend
Bharataji and asked him to shed some light on this matter,
as he is considered an authority on wine, whiskey or drugs. Bharata ji
said, "The police immediately deposits the recovered drugs in the
police malkahana. I asked him, "What is police malkhana?"
He replied, "Jahan policewale maal khate hain" (where
cops share the booty).

read out a news item to my
co-passenger in the Shatabadi Express that the Punjab Police had
recovered 1.1 kg of heroin worth Rs 5 crore. He apparently got worried
about something, opened a packet from his pocket and took some drug. I
said, "You seem to be in terrible tension as if your own
consignment of narcotics has been confiscated." He replied,
"I wonder what the police does with the rich haul of drugs it
recovers every other day."
