The conversation around marijuana getting legalized in India has been happening for years now. However, with Bollywood’s alleged drug connection being all the rage right now, the trend seems to be witnessing a change.

In an almost unbelievable yet funny incident, four Delhi policemen, including two sub-inspectors and two head constables, posted at Jahangirpuri police station in Northwest Delhi, were suspended after they allegedly misreported the quantity of marijuana seized from a local drug peddler during a raid earlier this month.

The Delhi police personnel had seized 160 kilograms of marijuana but they reported only 1kg.  “The suspected peddler named Anil was later let off after the personnel allegedly took a bribe from him,” a senior police officer said.

When the matter came into the picture, Anil was asked to disclose the names of the four policemen who were involved in the raid.

According to reports, the four cops allegedly took Rs 1.5 lakh from Anil to hush up the matter, sold the rest of the ganja, and divided the money among themselves. 

I mean, wow.

Earlier this month, 500kg of marijuana was seized by excise officials in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram.

Clearly, all matters related to marijuana are taking precedence in the country right now. While certain high profile names are being dragged into the matter, one can expect the issue to continue to grow into an even bigger one in the coming days.
