Chandigarh: Olympic medallist Vijender Singh had spoken to alleged narcotics dealer Anoop Singh Kahlon on phone about 80 times and they knew each other well, according to his call records scanned by Punjab police which appeared to have tightened its noose around the star boxer in the heroin haul case.
DIG (Ludhiana range) M F Farooqui on Sunday said police have decided to file a plea in court seeking direction to get Vijender's blood and hair samples to confirm whether he used to consume the drug as claimed by his sparring partner Ram Singh during interrogation.
Vijender during his quizzing by Punjab police at Panchkula in Haryana had refused to give his blood and hair samples to cops. He had denied any involvement in the drug racket.
However, the DIG added that police have got "nothing from the possession of Vijender" and the probe was still on.
