Two suspected drug smugglers, Krishna Rajbhar and Sheikh Razzak, were arrested
by Digha police along with 20 kg of ganja.[1][2][3]Police sources said the
operation followed a tip-off and the alertness of local residents.[1][2]According to police sources, the incident took place around 2:30 pm on Friday
near Yuva Awas More in Digha.[1][2][3]
The two men were reportedly carrying two trolley bags and attempting to board a
bus when the bus staff became suspicious.[1][2]When the staff asked to check the
bags, the men allegedly tried to flee.[1][2]Local residents acted swiftly and
caught the two suspects before informing Digha police.[1][2][3]Officers soon
reached the spot, took both men into custody and seized the suspected cannabis.[1]
Preliminary investigations suggest the duo had brought the cannabis from Odisha.[1][2][3]Investigators believe they were planning to transport it to Howrah.[1][2]Further investigation is under way to establish the details of the alleged
smuggling operation.[1]
The case raised the question of whether Digha is a new corridor for drug trafficking.[4]
The trolley bags were examined in the presence of a magistrate, and about 20 kilograms of ganja was recovered from them.[2][3]DSP (DNT) Dr Mohit Molla said two accused have been arrested and intensive investigation is under way to trace others involved in the trafficking network.[2][3]
