Telangana Police Arrest Six in Separate Marijuana Transport Cases from OdishaPreviousNext

Telangana police arrested three individuals in two separate operations for transporting large quantities of marijuana from Odisha to southern states. On July 11, 41 kg of marijuana was seized from a private bus near Hyderabad, with three bus crew members detained. The next day, nearly 95 kg was recovered from a car in Khammam district, with three others arrested. Both consignments were reportedly destined for Hyderabad and Mysuru, Karnataka. Investigations continue to identify absconding suppliers and receivers involved in the trafficking network.
