Ludhiana The Government Railway Police (GRP) in 2021 recorded a five-year high of untraced cases accepted by local Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) court.
A total of 21 NDPS cases were marked as “untraced” by the court, in comparison to nine recorded in the four-year period between 2017 to 2020 combined. Four cases were approved as “untraced” by the court in 2017, three in 2018 and one case each in 2019 and 2020.
Elaborating on the use of “untraced” terminology, an official said, “In cases where only the contraband is recovered with the accused being untraced, the court accepts these cases as untraced after the filing of a detailed report by the GRP.”
