CHANDIGARH: Punjab’s former director general of police (prisons) Shashi Kant on Tuesday claimed before the Punjab and Haryana high court that drug smuggling worth over Rs 60,000 crore took place annually in the state and the money went into funding elections in the state.
In a petition filed before the HC, the former DGP also submitted that drugs were not just being smuggled from Pakistan but also manufactured in Punjab. However, contesting the startling revelations made by him, the state government argued that the former DGP had never submitted any such report to it.
