“Polythene envelope marked as A was sealed and a pink coloured tablet with RR (symbol of Rolls Royce) was found and peach coloured tablets having the image of Sphinx. All the tablets were mixed homogeneously by hand and it was found that most of the tablets were defaced which might be done since these tablets were pasted on the polythene envelope,” said the CBI.
