History-sheeter detained under NDPS Act in Puducherry
The Puducherry police have invoked provisions of the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988 (PIT NDPS), against a history-sheeter currently in judicial custody.
The provisions of the PIT NDPS Act was invoked against Marumani alias Manikandan, a resident of G. N. Palayam, Villianur, to prevent him from further engaging in illicit trade of narcotic substances. The invocation of the Act would help the police keep the accused in jail for a year. The detention order was served to the history-sheeter at the Central Prison where he had been lodged in a recent drug peddling case.
