Gurugram, Sep 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Gurugram District Magistrate has directed for the mandatory presence of gazetted officer/duty magistrate during raids in NDPS cases or arrest of criminals, regarding which a list of 17 such officers has been issued.
DM Brahm Prakash recently chaired a meeting with officials of departments concerned in regard to Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) cases in Gurugram and issued necessary directions.
During the meeting, the names of 17 gazetted officers/duty magistrate were listed in the district who will extend support to police during NDPS raids.
The District Magistrate said that the officers should take raids under the NDPS Act seriously and be available on time whenever required.
"In most NDPS cases, the culprits are acquitted by the court due to lack of evidence. Now, the presence of the Duty Magistrate will make the raid process transparent. In their presence, the suspects will be searched or arrested. Also, a list of selected officers has been given to the DCP (Headquarters) Nitika Gahlaut of Gurugram Police," the officer said.
He said that the participation of all officers was essential to make the district free of intoxicants.
"Drugs addiction affects mental health, society and family. Driving on roads under the influence of drugs and intoxicants can cause accidents. Drug addiction at an early age can also lead to difficulties in life and cause unrest in family," said Preet Pal Sangwan, ACP (Crime).
