On Wednesday night time, a Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) group intercepted a truck in Choutuppal and seized 1,121 pounds of ganja value Rs 1.68 crore, concealed between fly ash bricks. Earlier this year, a Hyderabad DRI group had intercepted a gang transporting ganja in an ambulance.

Three individuals in the cabin mentioned they were transporting bricks from Andhra Pradesh to Maharashtra. When we searched the truck, we found 546 bundles of ganja concealed underneath the bricks,” a DRI authentic mentioned.
The ganja was tightly packed using duct tape to hide the contraband. The DRI group opened the bundles and recovered 1121.five pounds of ganja value Rs 1.68 crore. On interrogation, the trio, arrested by means of the DRI group, confessed that they procured ganja from a provider in Sileru Agency space of Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh. “The gang was transporting the ganja to Solapur in Maharashtra,” a DRI authentic mentioned.
The DRI sleuths, who were part of the probe, mentioned the accused procured ganja by means of paying about Rs 2,000 a kilo to the provider they usually promote the same to retailers for about Rs five,000 a kilo.
