In a significant operation, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized 210 kg of high-grade cannabis (ganja) valued at ₹20 crore ($2.4 million USD) during a crackdown on an inter-state drug trafficking network. The operation took place in Nagpur, Maharashtra, where officials intercepted a truck registered in West Bengal carrying the contraband hidden under metal sheets. Four individuals were arrested, including two alleged masterminds, identified as Patil and Verma, who coordinated the drug distribution. The cannabis was reportedly sourced from Sambalpur in Odisha, a known hub for illicit ganja production, and was intended for sale in major cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik. The NCB's investigation revealed that the network regularly transported between 200 to 500 kg of cannabis weekly from Odisha to Maharashtra. This operation is part of the NCB's ongoing efforts to dismantle organized drug syndicates and target habitual offenders in the narcotics trade.
