Now, NCP leader and lawyer Majin Memon in interaction with Times now said that while investigating a crime if it surfaces that any person is indulging in any activity which would fall within the definition of any of the provision under narcotics drugs act then in that event it becomes a duty of the investigating agency to apply relevant stringent provisions of NDPS act.

Even if the crime of murder or abetment of suicide or any such offenses investigated and in the course of such investigations there are revelations that a person who-so-ever he or she be has indulged in any act which amounts to breach the provisions of the narcotics drugs act then in that event the police is duty-bound to slap and apply the relevant provisions of the drug act.
