Special NDPS court discharges Muchhad Paanwala co-owner Ramkumar Tiwari in 2021 drugs case

NCB arrested Tiwari along with five others, claiming that they were involved in sourcing and selling CBD sprays and ganja. Tiwari said there was no evidence to show that he was in any way involved in sourcing, storing and selling of drugs. He also said that there was no evidence to suggest that he was linked to the other co-accused.

Accepting Tiwari’s submissions, the special court said there was no proof of any conspiracy between him and the co-accused, and that there was no evidence to show he was selling any contraband material.

“It has been shown that the material seized from accused No. 4 (Tiwari) was sent for chemical analysis, and as per the government laboratory report, the vegetative material did not show any sign of containing the narcotic substance. Therefore… the grounds for discharge sought by the accused are accepted,” Special Judge S M Patil said.

Tiwari was cleared of all charges under the NDPS Act.
