Traders’ body CAIT on Wednesday said it has approached the Narcotics Control Bureau seeking a probe into the alleged use of e-commerce major Amazon’s platform for sourcing marijuana. We assure full co-operation and support required to Investigating Authorities and Law Enforcement agencies with ongoing investigations and ensure full compliance to applicable laws,” an Amazon India Spokesperson said. “Amazon’s involvement in illegal activities to hurt India must not go unnoticed and an investigation must be initiated under NDPS Act and the Indian Penal Code,” CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said. He claimed that Amazon has contravened Section 20 of NDPS Act that says “produces, manufactures, possesses, sells, purchases, transports, imports inter-state, exports inter-State or uses cannabis, shall be punishable”.
