A Filipina asylum-seeker has found herself in jail along with an Indian, while their two other Indian co-defendants were allowed bail after their case at Eastern Court was amended to two counts of drug trafficking.

The original cases against Vanessa Poblacion, Karnesh Bawa, Aftab Alam and Kalimuddin Mohammed were : trafficking in a dangerous drug, possession of apparatus fit and intended for the inhalation of dangerous drug, driving an unlicensed vehicle, and using a vehicle without third party insurance.

Prosecutors presented an amended case to Magistrate Kestrel Lam on Thursday (Nov. 20), charging the four with two counts of drug trafficking, contrary to sections 4(1)(a) and (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance.
