Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Police arrested a 22-year-old man from Odisha in Hyderabad for carrying 8 kg of ganja intended for sale.
- The accused, Raj Pradhan, a farmer from Ganjam district, was caught by the Commissioner's Task Force and RGIA Police acting on a tip-off.
- Pradhan bought the ganja at about ₹8,000 per 2-kg packet from an Odisha-based supplier and planned to sell it in Hyderabad for ₹30,000 to ₹40,000 per packet.
- The seized ganja and a mobile phone were valued at ₹4 lakh, and a case was registered under the NDPS Act.
- The arrest matters because it breaks a supply chain moving ganja from Odisha into Hyderabad, though the supplier Ram Brada remains absconding.
What to watch next
- Search for the absconding supplier Ram Brada
- Outcome of the ongoing NDPS Act investigation
