In northern India, hundreds of kg of cannabis that were confiscated from drug dealers and kept in police facilities are allegedly being eaten by rats.
A judge in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, observed that "Rats are little animals, and they aren't terrified of the police," after learning that the local police were unable to provide over 200 kg of confiscated cannabis that was meant to be used as evidence in a recent case.
According to court records, the police were ordered to present 386 kilos of marijuana; however, the prosecution warned the court that the rat infestation would affect up to 700 kilograms of marijuana held at several stations around Mathura.
And, according to reports, this wasn't the first time the rats had attacked.
