Police likely to question boxer Vijender Singh in drug bust case: Sources - NDTV

Chandigarh: Sources in the Punjab Police have said that boxer Vijender Singh experimented with drugs which he allegedly bought with his friend and national-level boxer Ram Singh from drug dealer Anup Singh Kahlon who was arrested on March 3. Police says though Vijender will be questioned soon, they do not believe that he knew much about the international smuggling ring that the arrested dealer was allegedly a part of. "We are investigating... we are working very hard once we conclude we will let you know," Fathegarh Sahib SSP Hardyal Singh Mann told reporters on Saturday. Vijender's wife's car was parked at the alleged drug dealer's home when he was arrested. The boxer told NDTV that a friend had borrowed the car while he was travelling. Vijender denied ever using drugs. Ram Singh had said yesterday that both he and Vijender bought drugs from Kahlon, a Cananda-based NRI, who was arrested with drugs worth Rs 130 crore found in his home near Chandigarh. Ram Singh said that Vijender and he met Kahlon at least four times since December last year and that they bought heroin from him but were not habitual users. "I had no role. I knew Kahlon for some time, he gave drugs to us as food supplement and later we realised it was drug. We took drugs 3-4 times, Vijender took drugs three-four times. When we realised it was drug we stopped using it," the boxer told TV channels. Sources who have interrogated Kahlon say that he met at least four times with Vijender Singh, who won India its first boxing Olympic medal in 2008. Sources also say that Kahlon started spreading his network in 2009 in India and was internationally known in drug cartel. via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNFblQquw3WLGoQXy1mk0XSBmXPtWw&url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/police-likely-to-question-boxer-vijender-singh-in-drug-bust-case-sources-340543
