JAIPUR: The Special Jaipur Metro-I Court for NDPS cases rejected the interim bail application of psychiatrist Dr. Anil Kumar Tambi, accused in the case related to the possession and sale of prohibited drugs without any valid documents.
The court said that an increase has been reported in the sale of drugs made for the treatment of psychiatric treatment and this should be dealt with sternly in the interest of the country.
In view of the tendency of drug addiction in the young generation, the accused cannot be granted interim bail at this stage, the court said.
Dr. Tambi – a well-known psychiatrist – had applied for interim bail on the grounds that he was suffering from heart disease.
“There are treatment facilities available to jail inmates, so this can’t be a ground for interim bail,” the court said.
Advocate Rajveer Singh, on behalf of Malviya Nagar resident Dr. Tambi, sought interim bail for two months on medical grounds saying that he is suffering from heart disease. Original bills of the medicines recovered were also presented.
Drug Control and Central Bureau of Narcotics had raided the house of Dr. Anil Tambi and arrested him in connection with the illegal prescription and sale of banned and NDPS category medicines used in the treatment of patients facing chronic psychiatry issues. These medicines are banned from being sold over the counter.
