2950 kg cannabis seized from maize‑fennel field in Sirohi, Rajasthan; four arrested

Police in the Rohida police station jurisdiction of Sirohi district received a tip that cannabis plants were being cultivated among maize and fennel crops in the village of Valoria, Pagara Phali. Acting on the information, a team of officers entered the fields, identified the illegal grow‑out and seized 2,950.84 kilograms of green cannabis foliage.

The operation resulted in the arrest of four individuals suspected of managing the cultivation. The seized quantity, measured in kilograms, underscores the scale of the illicit activity in a primarily agricultural area.

Authorities have launched an investigation to trace the source of the seeds and to determine whether the produce was intended for local consumption or trafficking. The police have also warned farmers in the region about the legal consequences of allowing drug crops to grow alongside legitimate produce.

The incident highlights the challenges faced by law‑enforcement agencies in curbing narcotics cultivation in rural Rajasthan, where agricultural lands can be misused for illegal purposes.

Further details will be released as the case proceeds through the judicial system.
