A Pakistani who allegedly possessed about 300 capsules containing about 2kg of heroin claimed that someone had given him the box without his knowledge about its content.

MQ, 25, denied the accusation of possessing 2.225kg of heroin in order to sell it.

“I did not possess heroine, someone had given me a box and I did not know its content,” the accused told the jury.

In April, police arrested MQ when he was searching for a person who had given him the drugs against Dh12,000.

A policeman pretended to be a ‘transporter’ met the accused who had come to the cattle market carrying a sack.

The accused told the ‘transporter’ that someone in Kuwait will give him over Dh12,000 after the completion of the operation.

Police arrested the accused after ‘transporter’ gave signal to them to nab him. He then admitted possessing drugs to send it to Kuwait for money.

The court ordered to assign a lawyer for the accused and will reconvene on September 29.
