A 20-year-old who was charged for use and possession of drugs said it was his mother who smuggled the drugs so that he and his father could use it. The family was going through financial problems.
Three members of a family - the parents and the son - have been arrested. The Sharjah Sharia court heard the testimony of the Sharjah police officials who said the son had confessed that his mother brought in the drugs for consumption.
The court also heard the first witness, an anti-narcotics department officer, who on receiving information searched the son who was in Al Mamzar area, and found a bag with three plastic boxes containing marijuana. The case will be taken up on February 28.
