The Mumbai Crime Branch Unit 5 last week filled a charge sheet in the drugs-and-gun-planting case, in which an executive from Matunga and his friend were framed. The charge sheet says that the executive, Faqrudin Sayyed, and Gopal Mooponr, arrested by the Shahu Nagar police, have been discharged in the case.

The substance recovered from Sayyed’s house was sent for examination and the forensic lab’s report describes it as ephedrine, a drug. Hence the Crime Branch has filed a charge sheet under the NDPS, Arms Act and other sections of IPC.
