Muktsar Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Tripathi today claimed to have caught two drug peddlers and seized some banned pills, capsules and poppy husk from their possession at a rickshaw stand outside the District Red Cross Park along the Kotkapura road here.
Talking to The Tribune, Rajesh Tripathi said, “I had gone to inspect the rickshaw stand, where the district administration planned to organise a ‘langar’ (community kitchen) tomorrow during the Maghi Mela. Two person were lying there in blankets. When they were frisked, nearly a hundred banned pills, capsules and poppy husk were seized from their possession. I have asked the SSP to take legal action against them. They were later handed over to the police.”
