Arjun Upadhya;
Hindu;
Con-
stable; Chapra;
26 years.
I have examined Arjun Upadh-
ya, who is now in a sane con-
dition, and some of his relations
and neighbours.
All the wit-
nesses agree in saying that
Arjun never smoked or took
ganja, bhang, or opium, or any
other intoxicating drug. There
is no history of insanity in the
family.
They cannot
assign
any cause for the insanity of
Arjun; nor can the Civil Sur-
geon obtain any information
from Arjun himself to show
how he became mad.

I am of opinion that the Descrip-
tive Roll was
probably
more
correct than the evidence now
produced,
and that the man
was addicted
to
ganja and
bhang, and the
case one of
toxic insanity.

the insanity was due to hemp
drugs.

Had no
friends with him.
He himself
stated before the Medical Offi-

of toxic insanity due to ganja-

Purna Chandra
Rishi; Hindu;
Dealer in
lea-
ther; Jessore;
42 years.
From the police papers it appear-
ed that Purna Rishi's insanity
was due
to
ganja-smoking.
But from the enquiry made by
me I have come to learn
that
Purna suspected that his
cou-
sin Abhoy Rishi carried on an
intrigue with his wife and that
his mother and aunt (Abhoy's
mother) abetted the intrigue.
Purna
brooded on
this
so
much that he got a sort of
mania, under the influence of
which he killed his aunt
and
attempted to kill his mother.
His relatives, in order to sup-
press this scandal, got up ganja-
smoking as the cause of Purna's
insanity.
This
view of
the
fact is strengthened by the fact
that shortly before the murder
Purna sent his wife to
her
father's house.
Purna's
wife
has now disappeared traceless
and his mother is dead.
