Summary

A Delhi court ordered charges against Vipin Chawla for possessing over 4,300 kg of cough syrup. Police recovered 36,238 bottles of the banned psychotropic substance during a raid. The court rejected Chawla's defense regarding his managerial role and firm licenses. Evidence suggests illicit disposal of remaining cough syrup bottles in the market. Forensic reports and invoices link Chawla to the illegal procurement and storage.
