After a nearly two month investigation into the Rahul Mahajan drug case it looks like Delhi police will finally be filing a charge sheet this week.
Rahul Mahajan, the son of slain former senior BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, was rushed to a Delhi hospital early one morning in June along with his father’s former aide Vivek Maitra, both initially suspected of suffering from food poisoning. Tests later revealed that they both had cocaine and heroin in their systems. While Maitra was dead on arrival, Mahajan recovered and has been in the sights of police ever since.
In addition to charges of drug possession and distribution against Mahajan, the charge sheet will also detail evidence against:
* Sahil Zaroo, an associate of Maitra’s who was said to have ordered the drugs.
* Three Nigerians who allegedly supplied the drugs in question.
* Mahajan’s aide, Harish Sharma, plus his housekeeper Ganesh, both for allegedly destroying evidence at his home.
As for those brain mapping tests for both Mahajan and Zaroo I wrote about a month ago, police have indicated that they probably won’t be performing them now; Zaroo had anyway been successful in getting a court to stay the tests until the third week of August.
