Sahil taken back to Delhi, no concrete evidence found

SRINAGAR: Sahil Zaroo, one of the accused in the Rahul Mahajan drug abuse case, was again taken to Delhi by a special team after conducting searches in his house here.

"I am innocent," Sahil said repeatedly when asked by newsmen his role in the entire episode. He said he was being implicated in the case.

Sahil was brought to Srinagar on Friday by a special Delhi police team in the morning and straight away taken to his Nigeen house.

Assisted by Jammu and Kashmir police, the special team searched Sahil's house for more than two hours. However, no concrete evidence was found in the house during the searches, official sources said.

The team, however, seized clothes of Sahil, which he had worn at the party held at late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's official residence in New Delhi on June 1, from two different places.

The sources said while Sahil's shirt was seized from his Nigeen residence, the trouser was recovered from the house of his maternal uncle Mohammad Yousuf Kawoosa house at Shalimar.

However, it was not immediately clear whether the vomitting marks were still on the clothes. As per reports, Sahil had vomitted immediately after testing some powder at the party.

There was no trace of the mobile phone which was allegedly used by Sahil to contact a Nigerian drug peddler, identified as Abdullah, on June 1 several times.
