The Story in Brief
A Bengaluru man who reported a burglary has been booked for fabricating the complaint after police probing the case instead recovered ganja, bong chocolates and an electronic weighing scale. Rajkumar Yadav, 26, had claimed on July 6 that burglars stole a 15g gold chain, a 5g gold ring and Rs 21,000 cash from his house in Mangammanapalya.
Police detained his friends Mohammad Iliaz, Thouheed and Shivanshu on July 8. They said they broke in but stole nothing, and led officers to a delivery bag with the drugs. Investigators concluded the theft claim was false, and with court permission registered a case against Yadav under Section 217 of BNS. The three friends have been booked under the NDPS Act, the Times of India reports.
The Indian Opinion
This case feeds two lazy narratives at once: that police always jump to conclusions, and that complainants are always victims. Here officers dug past the headline story, found drugs, and then had the gumption to charge the man who lied. The real test is whether the three accused get a fair NDPS hearing, not just the false-complaint charge, and whether Yadav's neighbours are questioned about why the door was ajar for five hours. Watch what evidence the court weighs.
