Imphal, May 23 2015 :
Volunteers and members of different civil society organi-sations pulled up a Constable of the Police Dept along with drugs during a drive today at Hatta.
The police Constable pulled up for possession of drugs has been identified as Ct No 0915769 Zulfikar Ali (31) of Urup Arapti.
Parading the policeman before media persons at Pangal Students' Organisation (PSO) office today, president of Minuthong Hatta Mayai Leikai Development Organisation Zakir Hussein said a total of 280 capsules of contraband SP were seized from the possession of the policeman.
Zakir said that it was very unfortunate that a Constable of the State police is found involved in drug smuggling.
He said that people are fast losing trust in police due to the involvement of police personnel in such nefarious activities.
Pointing out that it was not the first instance where a policeman was found involved in drug smuggling, Zakir said that the incident recurred due to failure of the authority concerned to take up punitive action against such personnel.
Saying that Zulfikar will be handed over to Imphal East police, he appealed to all concerned not to carry out such activities in future.
Chairperson of Imphal Central Masjid Management Committee, Haji Abdul Hab has also condemned the incident.
