The Moga police late on Monday booked at least eight alleged drug peddlers after the body of a 27-year-old man from Jalandhar was found dumped in the jungles of Rehrwan village in Moga district. Police said that the man died of an alleged drug overdose.
Pargat Singh from Talwandi Bootian village of Jalandhar, in his statement to police, said that his son Ranjodh Singh alias Yodha (27) had left home on his motorbike on Monday. After some hours when he did not return, they started searching for him. Late in the evening, the family got to know that his body was dumped in the jungles of Rehrwan village. Pargat added that his son was a drug addict and he suspects that he was given an injection by the accused due to which he died.
