A 30-year-old man died after he slipped and fell from the third floor of his apartment while trying to escape via a water pipe. He was under the impression that excise officials were coming to arrest him for the use of ganja.
The victim has been identified as Mohammed Khaleel Pasha, who lived
in the Singareni colony along with his family.
According to reports, a team of excise and prohibition personnel arrived at Singareni Colony for an awareness drive about drug abuse. Upon seeing the officials, the victim mistakenly thought they were there to arrest him, as he often smoked ganja.
