The Telangana Anti-Narcotic Bureau (TSNAB) and Langar Houz Police in Hyderabad arrested a 6-member gang involved in smuggling narcotics. They seized 44 kg of ganja, 4 cars, 8 mobile phones worth Rs 1 crore from the gang.
The arrested individuals are Vankudoth Veeranna, Ajmeera Veeranna, Surneni Manoj, Merugu Madhu, Prashanth Naik Tejavath, and Mohd Jahangir. They are all from Mahabubabad district.
The gang’s leader, V Veeranna, had previous records with 5 cases. He used to assist his uncle in the ganja business but started supplying ganja himself in 2018. He obtained ganja from Somaraju of Malkangiri and supplied it to someone named Niklesh.
To avoid police checks, the gang hid the ganja in modified compartments of high-end cars like Tata Hexa, Fortuner, and MG vehicles. They modified the cars at a welding shop in Auto Nagar, Hyderabad.
The TSNAB and Langar Houz Police apprehended the gang while they were transporting ganja in two cars based on credible information.
