A dramatic courtroom showdown in Muzaffarpur has led to arrest orders against a DSP and 11 colleagues, spotlighting chronic issues in police testimony for NDPS matters. Special Judge Narendra Pal Singh didn’t mince words, issuing non-bailable warrants after repeated summons went unheeded.
The targeted list features ex-DSP (Rakshit) Vipin Narayan Sharma, Kurhani’s former head Arvind Paswan, probe officer Vivekanand Singh, IO Rajesh Yadav, and home guards including Arvind Kumar and Dhanik Rana. These personnel were vital witnesses in smack and charas seizure probes from Kurhani and Sadar.
Flashback to Garhua Chowk: A young man caught red-handed with smack, case primed for trial but derailed by absent cops. Then, Sadar’s Khabra Bhel raid exposed an ATM fraud ring with massive charas haul and tech tools in 2020.
Years of delays forced judicial intervention, with a firm deadline of March 9 for arrests and court appearance. This ruling reinforces that evading testimony undermines public trust and case integrity.
As Bihar grapples with drug networks, such measures promise swifter accountability, urging reforms in how law enforcers engage with the courts.
