The Government Railway Police (GRP) today dismissed as "misleading" a media report that around 25 kg of seized drugs have gone missing from its warehouse at Nagpur railway station.
"It (the report) is absolutely wrong. No seized drugs or other articles are missing from the police warehouse at the railway station. The report that 25 kg of seized contrabands have gone missing is misleading," said Superintendent, GRP, Nagpur, Sahebrao Patil.
He said the GRP is planning to shift the warehouse from railway station to the GRP headquarters, which is located nearby.
As per a news report, cannabis and liquor seized by the Nagpur division's GRP nearly five years ago have gone missing from the storage facility at the railway station.
Denying that the drugs have gone missing from the warehouse, GRP Police Inspector Akshay Panhekar told PTI: "Though rats are a big nuisance at the railway station and the godown, the contrabands are weighed at the time of their seizure as well as their disposal.
