Police in Anupur, Madhya Pradesh, busted a cannabis trafficking operation after a customer sought three youths, seizing 15 kg of marijuana worth about ₹1.55 lakh and arresting the three suspects from Damoh.
Anupur police launched a sting operation after receiving information that a buyer was looking for three young men involved in drug trafficking. The undercover team intercepted the suspects and recovered approximately 15 kilograms of cannabis, which officials estimated to be worth around ₹1.55 lakh.
All three accused have been identified as residents of Damoh district in Madhya Pradesh. They were taken into custody without incident and are currently being held for further investigation under the state's narcotics laws.
The seized cannabis will be forwarded to the forensic laboratory for verification, and the case has been handed over to the district magistrate for legal proceedings. Authorities have urged the public to report any similar suspicious activities to help curb drug trafficking in the region.
This operation underscores the police's ongoing efforts to combat narcotics smuggling in central India, especially in smaller towns where such networks often operate under the radar.
