PTC News Desk: Jharkhand Police blamed rats for destroying 10 kg of bhang and nine kg of ganja which was confiscated and stored in a police station in the state's Dhanbad district.
An advocate involved in the case said on Sunday that the police reported the incident to a district court.
The police filed a report with Principal District and Sessions Judge Ram Sharma on Saturday after the court ordered the officer in charge of the Rajganj police station to produce the bhang and ganja seized six years ago.

On December 14, 2018, Rajganj police arrested Shambhu Prasad Agrawal and his son with 10 kg of bhang and nine kg of ganja. An FIR had also been filed against them at the police station.
During the trial, the court ordered Jayprakash Prasad, the Investigating Officer in the case, to present the seized bhang and ganja in court on April 6.
"Prasad appeared in court on Saturday with an application from the Rajganj police station officer in-charge claiming that rats destroyed all confiscated material," the defence lawyer in the case, Abhay Bhatt said.
Bhatt stated that the police were unable to exhibit the confiscated materials, implying that his client was framed in false cases.
