Tramadol seizure: SAD seeks NCB probe

Amritsar, June 27

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday sought shifting of probe into the tramadol seizure, which involved former district Congress chief and now AAP leader Rajiv Bhagat to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) or the CBI.

SAD leader Virsa Singh Valtoha alleged that a probe should be marked to investigate the role of a former cop as his vehicle was used to ferry medical drugs. Valtoha said only a national agency could investigate the case in an impartial manner.

Valtoha said, “Bhagat’s luck ran out once he left the Congress and joined the AAP.”

The Amritsar (rural) police have booked Bhagat in connection with seizure of banned tramadol from three persons. The police had busted an alleged illegal firm in Paonta Sahib which was used to manufacture huge quantity oftramadol. — TNS
