Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said that legal aid would be provided soon at the police station level to ensure strict puniment to the accused involved in the drug trafficking and to keep the matter firmly in the court also. He said that proceeding is going on in this regard and this legal aid system will soon be available at the police station level.

Vij was addressing the policemen and others present as a special guest in the program of “Samvad with the police personnel” organized in Panchkula last day.

The conviction rate of people involved in drug trafficking is 45% – Vij

He informed that the conviction rate of people involved in drug trafficking is 45 percent and proceeding is being taken for legal aid to increase the conviction rate. He said that drug dealers get away due to some legal hurdles and loopholes, but if the case against the persons caught in the drug case is given legal aid at the very beginning, then the case can be strengthened. So, our government will soon give legal aid at the police station level so that the next life of any accused caught by the police can be spent in jail.
