Imphal, February 24 2013 :
Denying any involvement in the drugs smuggling, Colonel Ajay Chowdhry said, "I have been cheated and not informed what the merchandise was" .
Chowdhry and five others were detained on Sunday by the police in Manipur's Chandel district after they were allegedly caught carrying illegal drugs meant to be smuggled out to Myanmar.
"A senior officer whom I know came to me and I have met him 2-3 times at his place.
In between he just requested that since he comes for trading to Moreh, people harass him enroute.
He asked me if I could just help him to take the merchandise to Moreh.
So I asked him what it was, he said it is something he deals with.
He is doing something which I'm not aware of, he didn't tell me.
Somehow I have been cheated in this." Chowdhury said.
