2,200kg of marijuana seized from a truck near Delhi
Haryana police seized over 2,233 kg of marijuana worth over 11 crores from a truck loaded with animal fodder in Panchgaon of Manesar in Haryana. The police have also arrested 2 people along with the consignment. According to the police, the consignment was on its way from Odisha to Hisar, from where it was supposed to be supplied in Haryana and Delhi NCR.
“Marijuana was filled in 70 plastic bags and kept in the middle of around 380 bags of animal fodder in the truck. It wouldn’t have been detected in a normal check. We managed to find it because our team had specific information,” said ACP (crime) Preet Pal Sangwan. During interrogation, the accused revealed that they had loaded marijuana in the truck four days ago in Odisha and were supposed to transport it to Uklana Mandi in Hisar.
“They were just transporters. We are trying to find out the supplier and who was supposed to receive it and supply it further in the state and adjoining areas,” the ACP said, adding that the accused were produced before a local court on Monday and sent to three-day police remand.
