The Delhi High Court, led by Justice Subramonium Prasad's single-judge bench, asked the Ministry of Home Affairs where 70,000 kgs of heroin is and gave a four-week deadline.
Following a plea alleging the disappearance of over 70,000 kg of heroin, worth approximately Rs 5 lakh crore, from official seizure records between 2018 and 2020, the Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Wednesday, according to Bar and Bench.

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and the Ministry of Finance were given a four-week deadline by Justice Subramonium Prasad's one-judge bench to provide their answers. September 9 is when the case will next be heard.
