Yet, India’s champion boxer Vijender Singh’s name has completely bowed into Drug Haul which took sensational turn as confirmed by the Punjab Police.
For the first time, Punjab cops claimed Olympic bronze medallist consumed heroin at least 12 times and got it from none another then arrested NRI smuggler, drug dealer Anoop Singh Kahlon.
Vijender Singh and his sparring partner Ram Singh took heroin from Kahlon and his associate Rocky for “personal consumption” between December 2012 and February 2013, police told media persons.
Vijender took the drug 12 times, while Ram Singh five times, Cops further added, claimed that both went to Zirakpur in search of heroin, once in January and twice in February.
However, no drug has recovered from both and even police have not such evidence that directly proved involvement of both in heroin bust, the major cause of failure to arrest them at the moment.
Meanwhile, Police are now trying to obtain hair and blood samples of Vijender for forensic tests which have been examined by the Forensic Science Laboratory under deputy district attorney, Fatehgarh Sahib, while Vijender has so far refused to do same.
Last March, the Fatehgarh Sahib police were arrested Canada-based Kahlon alias Ruby and Rocky, recovered drugs worth Rs 130 crore from Kahlon’s house in Zirakpur as part of international drug network worth of Rs 484 crore.
Ram Singh who had suspended from police force admitted the consumption of drug with Boxer Vijender for food supplements, while Vijender denied allegations.
