20 Aug 2020

The Government Analyst’s Department said an investigation is underway into the reports of two employees of the Department being arrested with narcotic drugs. Earlier this week, two employees of the Government Analyst’s Department were arrested by the Police with heroin.  However, a spokesman of the Department refuted reports that employees of the Department are linked to drug rackets.  He further said that the arrested individuals are not permanent employees of the Department. An investigation was launched into the incident by the Department, and the Police have also been informed of the matter. Furthermore, it was reported that no unauthorised person has the opportunity to access the Department’s case exhibit storage facilities as it is under high security. In this context, investigations are being conducted into how the persons in question obtained the drugs and whether they were connected to an outside drug network. Accordingly, necessary action will be taken following an expedited investigation on the matter, said the Department.
