The Hindu
It also asks govt. to provide field test kits to all police stations
The High Court of Karnataka has suggested to the State and Central governments to have a separate Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) in Karnataka to analyse narcotic drugs and contraband articles seized in offences registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The court also suggested that the State government provide field test kits to all police stations, if not already provided for spot testing of seized substances, and asked the State Public Prosecutor to make an endeavour to persuade the authorities. Justice K. Natarajan passed the order while rejecting the bail plea of 27-year-old Arjav Deepak Mehtha, who was arrested in November 2020 by Jeevan Bhima Nagar police in Bengaluru city when he was receiving a parcel from the postman.More Related News
