Man held with bullet casings, drugs during raid at house
T'puram: Mannanthala police seized eight spent bullet casings and drugs from a person residing at Parottukonam during a raid at his house on Wednesday night. Police identified the arrested person as Nithin S, 32. Police conducted the raid based on an information shared by district anti-narcotics special action force team that he was in possession of the drugs. During the raid, the police seized the bullet casings along with 218g of ganja and 44 nitrazepam tablets (8 g). The casings were sent to the forensic science laboratory for a detailed examination. Since the drugs seized were below commercial quantity, the accused was granted bail when produced before a court on charges under Section 20 (B) IIA and 22 (a) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act-1985. "During questioning, he claimed that he collected the casings from under a tree at Kullu, during a trip. It was not believable. Once we receive the forensic report, we will register a new FIR," said police. Nithin was involved in several other NDPS cases and also hurt cases, police added.
