Imeelezwa kuwa panya hao wamekula bangi hizo zilizokamatwa kama ushahidi kutoka kwa wahalifu na kuhifadhiwa kwenye Kituo cha Polisi.

Maelezo hayo yametolewa Mahakamani wakati kesi tatu za bangi zilipokuwa zikiendelea, tamko la Polisi limesema “Panya ni Wanyama wadogo na hawawaogopi askari ni ngumu kulinda ushahidi dhidi yao.”

Katika kesi nyingine Polisi wamesema kuwa sehemu ya bangi kilo 386 iliyokamatwa pia iliharibiwa kwa kutafunwa na panya.

Police Blame Rats For Eating 200kgs Of Bhang Seized As Evidence From Criminals

Police in India have blamed rats for destroying nearly 200kg of cannabis seized from criminals and kept in police stations.

A court in the country heard how the rodents had in some cases eaten the marijuana being kept as evidence.

The judge cited three cases in which marijuana was destroyed by rodents.

A statement read to the court said: “Rats are tiny animals and they have no fear of the police. It’s difficult to protect the drug from them.”

Judge Sanjay Chaudhary said in an order that when the court asked the police to produce the seized drug as evidence, it was told that 195kg of cannabis had been “destroyed” by rats.

In another case involving 386kg of the drug, the police filed a report saying “some” of the cannabis was “eaten up by the rats”.

Judge Chaudhary told the court around 700kg of marijuana seized by the police was lying in police stations in Mathura district and that “all of it was under danger of infestation by rats”.

He said the police had no expertise in dealing with the matter as the rats were “too small”. The only way to protect the seized goods from “such fearless mice”, he added, was to auction the drugs to research labs and medicine firms, with the proceeds going to the government.

In 2018, eight Argentinian police officers were fired after they blamed mice for the disappearance of half a ton of cannabis from a police warehouse.

But experts disputed the claim, saying that the animals were unlikely to confuse the drug for food and “if a large group of mice had eaten it, a lot of corpses would have been found in the warehouse”.

In 2017, police in the eastern Indian state of Bihar had blamed rats for consuming thousands of litres of confiscated alcohol, a year after the state banned the sale and consumption of alcohol.

In 2018, technicians who arrived to fix a malfunctioning cash machine in the state of Assam found that currency notes worth more than 1.2m rupees ($14,691; £12,143) had been shredded - and the suspected culprits were rats.
