In Bhubaneswar, a recent operation by the Special Task Force resulted in the seizure of 49 kg of marijuana. This was made possible by intercepting two vehicles on National Highway-16 near Tangi, a region in Cuttack. The STF proudly announced the arrest of five individuals involved in the illegal act, one of whom was from Bihar. The accused were identified as Roshan Kumar Choudhury, Purna Chandra Mallik, Sandip Digal, Bikash Kumar Pradhan, and Manas Kumar Mallick.
According to Kishore Kumar Panigrahi, the Superintendent of Police for STF, the accused were caught red-handed with two four-wheelers and various incriminating materials in their possession. The STF had received a tip-off and, working in collaboration with the twin city police, set up a trap near NH-16 on Saturday morning. As the vehicles approached the area, the officers swiftly intercepted them and conducted a thorough search. It was then that they discovered the illegal substance, hidden in a gunny bag.
In their initial investigations, the STF found out that the arrested individuals were transporting the marijuana from Phulbani to Digha, a region in West Bengal. Their plan was to sell the drugs to local peddlers at a high price, which they believed would bring them a hefty profit. However, their illegal activities have now been brought to an end thanks to the efforts of the STF and the twin city police.
