The investigation into the arrest of the police constable, who was caught with 110 kg of mephedrone by Satara police, gets murkier. It appears that the arrested cop, Dharmaraj Kalokhe, has been protected by senior IPS officers in the department, most likely for their own benefit.

According to sources, not only was Kalokhe’s transfer from Marine Drive police station stopped in the past, when the Anti Narcotic Cell (ANC) recently approached an IPS officer stating they have clear evidence that the accused is carrying large consignments of drugs, he refused to give the go ahead, and asked the cell to conduct the raid after few days.
