A special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court this week allowed a plea by Arthur Road jail authorities to transfer an accused, arrested in a drugs case in 2015, to Thane jail after it was found that he used chits to threaten a witness with the help of inmates.

The jail authorities said that the accused Sajid Electricwala and others used to pass chits to get those on the outside to do their bidding. They also said that a separate case has been registered against them in which a jail cop has also been made an accused, stated a report in The Times of India.
