You read the news, you expect to gain knowledge and abreast yourself with the events of the world. Or, at least chance upon (while praying that you don’t) pictures of the side boob/ cleavage/ Marilyn Monroe moments of XYZ celebrities. While the daily dose of information comes with much more, it is ultimately news of the wackiest order that makes my day.

And today is that day, my friend! The day that will finally allow me to use ‘my dog ate my assignment’ MUCH more convincingly than I do now! Courtesy: Nagpur and its maal-loving rats.

In other news, Nagpur Government Railway Police (GRP), has blamed rats for the curious case of 25 kg of missing marijuana and liquor that was seized, from its godown.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Abhay Panhekar, senior inspector, Nagpur GRP, said,

“We do not have proper storage facilities for seized items, and we are at times forced to keep the drug on the floor, and maybe some rats could have been damaging the pouches in which the marijuana is kept.”

He also added that rats could have damaged the plastic bottles containing liquor, causing the spirit to evaporate. In fact, when asked about the drugs, the inspector cited that it is difficult to quantify the amount or number of bottles because the confiscation of the same happened five years ago!

Well, I don’t know about you but stoner rats are a first for me!
