Infact, six grams of heroin has been recovered from said Vishu, when he was driving Activa scooter bearing Registration No. PB02EY1263. Allegation for which petitioner has been involved in the present case is based upon disclosure statement of said Vishu saying that petitioner was pillion rider,

He further submits that false allegations have been levelled as there is no other evidence connecting the petitioner with the present crime or to substantiate the allegations, which have been developed through the disclosure statement of the co-accused. Thus, he submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the investigation as and when called upon, provided he is granted protection from arrest.
