EAGLE's Midnight Pursuit: 500 kg of Ganja Seized in Jharkhand

The Telangana anti-narcotics wing, EAGLE, in collaboration with the Narcotics Control Bureau, intercepted a lorry in Jharkhand carrying 500 kg of ganja. Originally expected to travel through Telangana, the vehicle diverted to avoid detection. The coordinated effort led to the interception in Simdega, with one arrest and two suspects absconding.

In a major drug bust, Telangana's anti-narcotics wing, EAGLE, along with the Narcotics Control Bureau, seized 500 kg of ganja from a lorry in Jharkhand. The vehicle, originating from Malkangiri, Odisha, was enroute to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, when it was intercepted.

The operation, based on specific intelligence, anticipated the lorry's passage through Telangana. However, the suspects altered their route to evade monitoring, prompting a swift change in the pursuit strategy by EAGLE. Despite the high-speed evasion, the pursuit continued with relentless communication between teams.

Efforts culminated in the seizure of the illegal consignment in Simdega, Jharkhand. One individual was taken into custody, while two intended receivers in Varanasi remain at large, raising concerns over organized drug distribution networks across states.
