The CBI has conducted a raid on the DRME headquarters in Mohali to investigate allegations of illegal drug sales linked to the Jhota murder case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched a fresh probe into the Jhota murder case by raiding the headquarters of the Drug Regulatory and Monitoring Establishment (DRME) in Mohali. The operation was specifically aimed at investigating allegations of illegal drug sales connected to the incident.
During the raid, CBI officials inspected records and documents at the DRME office to gather evidence regarding the unauthorized distribution of pharmaceuticals. The agency is scrutinizing the supply chain and regulatory approvals to determine the extent of the illicit trade.
This development marks a significant escalation in the investigation, shifting focus from the immediate crime scene to the systemic issues of drug regulation. The CBI aims to identify all individuals and entities involved in the illegal market.
