A warden of Mandoli prison has been granted bail after being found in possession of narcotics. The court cited that the investigation was complete, and his status as a government servant meant he was unlikely to abscond.

Additional Sessions Judge Sameer Bajpai presided over the bail plea of Nitin Rana, who was caught carrying 100 grams of opium inside the prison. The Harsh Vihar police station had registered an FIR against him under the NDPS Act.

The court's order noted that Rana had been in custody for about a month, and with the investigation complete, there was no risk of him not cooperating. He was granted bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 10,000 and one surety of the same amount.
