Two government employees from Odisha and Chhattisgarh involved
In yet another big seizure of ganja, the Bhadrachalam town police have seized a huge consignment of 1,005 kg ganja worth about ₹2 crore from a Madhya Pradesh-bound lorry in the temple town late on Tuesday afternoon. Increased vigil at the border points resulted in seizure of 6,000 kg ganja worth ₹12 crore in the district so far this year. Illegal consignments of ganja worth ₹32 crore were seized by the district police in separate cases in the last four years. Two government employees belonging to Odisha and Chhattisgarh were allegedly found to be involved in aiding and abetting the smuggling from Agency areas in the border States to various big cities using Bhadradri-Kothagudem district as a transit point, police said.More Related News
