Bhatpachlana Police Seize 23 Kg Of Ganja, Arrest Two Suspects

Unhel (Madhya Pradesh): Bhatpachlana police arrested two persons and recovered 23 kg of ganja worth Rs 1 lakh. The operation took place on Khachrod Road, where police intercepted a vehicle.

The arrested individual, identified as Abhishek Pandya from Nagda, revealed during interrogation that he sourced the ganja from two alleged smugglers: Tarun Mishra from Odisha and Arush Mishra from West Bengal, who were reportedly staying at his residence.

This connection indicates a broader network of drug dealers operating not just in Nagda and Themhal, but potentially throughout the district, raising concerns about the extent of the drug trade in the area. Police intensified their investigation and apprehended Sameer Rangrez from Themhal, who was implicated in the distribution of ganja.

Upon his arrest, police recovered an additional 5 kg of ganja based on information provided by Sameer. Station in-charge Satyendra Chaudhary said that a case of drug trafficking had been registered against Sameer. He emphasised the alarming trend of youth involvement in the drug trade, driven by greed, which poses a significant threat to the community.
