The prosecution claimed nearly 200 kg of seized ganja, valued at Rs 1 crore, was destroyed by rats while stored in police custody. The court noted contradictions in witness testimonies regarding the seizure and the accused's apprehension, ultimately finding the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt due to the missing evidence and procedural failures.
