Hyderabad Police Bust Interstate Ganja Trafficking Syndicate Using Speed Post
Hyderabad's Narcotics Enforcement Wing dismantled an interstate ganja trafficking syndicate operating primarily from Jharkhand. The network, led by arrested mastermind Satyam Misra, supplied cannabis to customers in nearly 21 states, including major cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The syndicate cultivated and sourced ganja locally, dispatching 50-250 gram parcels via Speed Post falsely labeled as medicines. Orders were placed through WhatsApp with digital payments, processing 80-100 daily orders and generating monthly earnings of around Rs 30-35 lakh. Four associates remain at large, and a parallel distribution network was identified in Mumbai.
