The Delhi High Court has granted bail to Mandeep Singh Gill, a Canadian national facing allegations in a narcotics case.

The court’s decision was primarily based on the absence of substantial evidence directly linking Gill to the seized drugs. Notably, Gill has maintained a clean criminal history, and the drugs in question were not found in his possession at the time of the arrest.

Justice Amit Mahajan remarked that Gill had successfully demonstrated a prima facie case for bail, indicating a belief that he would not pose a risk of reoffending while released.

Gill’s arrest by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) occurred on February 6, 2024, after authorities intercepted a parcel containing 2.496 kilograms of Methamphetamine in Delhi.

The NCB’s case against him was built on various forms of evidence, including CCTV footage, call detail records, and testimonies from co-accused individuals.

However, Gill’s legal team contended that he was wrongfully implicated, arguing that the case relied heavily on the statements of others without any direct evidence of drug possession or additional corroboration to support the claims against him.
