the police, the said person had attempted to flee and, in the process, had thrown a white polythene packet on the street. The police had apprehended him immediately, and had also recovered the packet thrown by him. Upon checking, it was found containing a white crystalline substance which, on field testing, tested positive for Amphetamine. The total weight of the recovered substance was found to be 57 grams. The packet was duly sealed and seized as case property. The accused was identified as Kouku Rifim Collins, aged 24 years, a resident of Anambra, Nigeria. He was informed of his legal rights under Section 50 of the NDPS Act and he had declined to be searched before a Gazetted Officer or Magistrate. His personal search yielded no further contraband. The scooty bearing registration number DL3SDT-3028 (Honda Cliq, Blue colour), allegedly used for the supply of drugs, was also seized. On the basis of the recovery, a case under Sections 8/22/25 of the NDPS Act was registered vide FIR No. 373/2023, dated 13.09.2023, at PS Mohan Garden. The investigation was thereafter entrusted to ASI Vinod Kumar, who prepared the site plan, arrested the accused in accordance with law, and recorded his disclosure statement, in which he allegedly named one Prince as the supplier of the recovered Amphetamine. After completion of investigation, chargesheet was filed before the concerned Court.
