New Delhi: The proposed amendments to the National Anti-Doping Act could redefine the rules of engagement during operations to crack down on banned drugs in India as officers authorised by the central government would be allowed to search suspects in public places and even detain them for 24 hours depending on circumstances.
The amendments, which seek a jail term of upto five years and a fine of Rs two lakh for individuals found guilty of supplying and trafficking banned substances, have been posted online for public feedback till June 18.
