Hyderabad Police Bust Interstate Marijuana Syndicate Using Speed Post Parcels
Hyderabad's Narcotics Enforcement Wing dismantled an interstate marijuana trafficking syndicate operating via Speed Post parcels falsely labeled as medicines. The network, led by Satyam Misra from Jharkhand, supplied ganja to customers in about 21 states, including major cities like Hyderabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The syndicate processed 80-100 orders daily through WhatsApp, generating significant revenue. Several key members remain at large as investigations continue into the parallel distribution network and sourcing methods.
