NEW DELHI: The prosecution in the drug abuse case involving Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, and others began arguments on the charges on Thursday.

In his submission, Chief Public Prosecutor B.S. Joon said before Special Judge for Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act cases S.M. Gupta that it had been forensically proved that Mr. Mahajan and Bibek Moitra, former personal secretary of the late BJP leader, had taken a cocktail of "morphine,'' "cocaine'' and "heroin'' at the 7 Safdarjung Road official residence of his father in the early hours of June 2 this year.

Moitra had died due to overdose of the drugs, the prosecution said.

Mr. Joon said the forensic examination of the empty pouch recovered from 7 Safdarjung Road and the gastric wash of Mr. Mahajan and Moitra proved that the two had taken a cocktail of the three drugs.

Mr. Joon further stated that the prosecution had recorded the statements of 79 witnesses.
