Nearly a month after senior police constable Amandeep Kaur—now dismissed—was caught with 17.7 gm heroin, she was let off on bail by the district and sessions court, Bathinda, on Thursday.
BATHINDA:
Additional district sessions judge Mahesh Grover ordered her release from judicial custody, stating that "the alleged recovery falls within the scope of non-commercial category". The court also ordered her to furnish a bail bond of ₹50,000 with a surety of the same amount.
She was arrested with 17.7 gm heroin from Badal Road in Bathinda city on April 2 while driving in a black SUV.
The court observed that Amandeep has been subjected to custodial interrogation for multiple days, and no other offence has been added to the list of offences against her.
