IITian Baba caught with ganja.

To verify information received through the control room about Abhay Singh trying to commit suicide in Hotel Park Classic, Station House Officer Rajendra Godara and his team reached the spot and found Singh. Abhay Singh is a resident of Jhajjarin Haryana who is in Jaipur to celebrate his birthday and present at the hotel. The DCP said, “When he was asked about the information given to the Police Control Room, the person took out a packet of ganja from his possession and said, ‘I had consumed ganja, and if I have given any information under the influence of ganja, then I don’t know.’”

A packet of ganja weighing 1.5 grams was found in Singh’s possession, and it was seized on the spot under the NDPS Act. Police officials said that since the ganja quantity was found low, he was released on bail after presenting his surety. A police official said, “However, a case is being registered against Abhay Singh under the NDPS Act, and an investigation is being carried out.”

The central government considers 1 kg a small quantity while 20 kg a commercial quantity. Abhay Singh, in a statement later, said, “Someone said (to the police) that Babaji is going to commit suicide. The police turned up with a strange excuse for the case. But then they understood…”
