The Narcotics Control Bureau seized 500 kg of cannabis in Nagpur and arrested three suspects linked to a multi‑state drug network.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) conducted a large‑scale operation in Nagpur, Maharashtra, resulting in the seizure of 500 kilograms of ganja. The drug haul, described by officials as one of the biggest in recent months, was recovered from a location identified as part of a broader trafficking network.
During the same raid, NCB officers apprehended three individuals suspected of being key operatives in a multi‑state narcotics syndicate. The suspects are currently in custody and are being interrogated for further leads on the network's operations across several Indian states.
Authorities said the seizure underscores the NCB's intensified focus on curbing cannabis trafficking, especially in central India, where the drug is increasingly being smuggled for both domestic consumption and illegal export.
The bureau has not disclosed the identities of the arrested persons or the exact location of the stash, citing ongoing investigations. Further details will be released as the case progresses.
