Acting on a news report, “Moga woman chains son to keep him off drugs”, published in these columns on Monday, the police have booked nine persons for luring the youth to drugs.
A senior police official said Gurmail Singh, father of the addict, told the police that some youths of Buttar Kalan , identified as Nimma, Hari, Goga, Neetu, Rama, Gauri, Jassi, Sandeep and Ginder Singh, were giving intoxicating substance to his son Jagdev Singh for the past three months.
The police registered a case under Sections 328 and 120-B of the IPC against the youths. However, no arrests have been made.
