Ambassa police station officers stopped an unregistered new luxury car in the Kamalchhara area of Ambassa, Dhalai district, Tripura, on 9 November 2026 and found a large quantity of ganja, the local name for cannabis, inside.[1][2] Police detained two people in the case, including the driver of the car.[1][2]

The two detained were identified as Ihan Debbarma and Sanjay Debbarma, both residents of Hezamara under Sidhai Mohanpur.[1][2] Police said the traffickers planned to take the consignment out of Tripura on a side route, avoiding the regular police check post at Bedpagar in Ambassa, and suspected they were trying to pass through Kamalchhara.[1][2] Officers moved on a tip-off from an undisclosed source and searched the car.[1][2] Police said their initial assessment was that the ganja was being taken out of the state to be smuggled onward.[1]

Police said they had begun an investigation into whether others were part of the network, where the ganja came from and where it was meant to be sent.[1][2]

Tripura Times reported that the cannabis was recovered from a newly purchased luxury vehicle, an account that also describes the intercepted car as running without a registration number plate.[2]
