JAMSHEDPUR – Police seized approximately 26 kilograms of cannabis from the bus stand in the Sitaramdera police station area and arrested two individuals in connection with the case.
Acting on a tip-off, a police team conducted a raid at the location. A large quantity of ganja was recovered from the possession of the two accused during the operation.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Vishwajit Biswas and Md Tabij. Both are from Odisha. According to police, they were transporting the cannabis consignment from Odisha and were headed towards Bihar and Bengal.
The seized ganja has been valued at approximately Rs 3.30 lakh at market rate. It is among the larger ganja seizures reported recently in the Jamshedpur region.
Police are currently interrogating both the arrested accused. Investigators are trying to establish the exact source of the consignment in Odisha. They are also working to identify the intended recipients in Bihar and Bengal.
