Overview
- Police say officers stopped three men at Secunderabad Railway Station and found 41.131 kg of marijuana hidden in a trolley and backpacks; all three are in custody.
- The detained were identified by police as Mahesh Dilip Wandhare and Kartik Chandrakant Ambe, both adults from Nagpur, and a 17-year-old boy who has been produced before the Juvenile Justice Board.
- Investigators traced the consignment to Balangir in Odisha and say the trio collected 40 packets, travelled by passenger trains via Charlapally, and planned to board a train to Nagpur while waiting in the station’s general hall.
- A case has been registered under specified sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and Section 78 of the Juvenile Justice Act, and police are seeking an alleged supplier named Sanju Sahu who is reported to be absconding.
- Officials say the operation was a coordinated check by the Government Railway Police, the EAGLE force and the Railway Protection Force, and the seizure underlines how routine joint checks can disrupt cross-state drug supply chains.
