Police in the Mothugudem area of Polavaram district seized a large quantity of liquid ganja that was being moved illegally.[1] Officers said they acted on specific information that narcotics were being moved quietly from Odisha to Uttar Pradesh, and set up special checks.[1] During the checks police identified and seized liquid ganja worth about 1.25 million rupees.[1] The consignment was being moved secretly because of heavy demand in the inter-state market for the banned liquid ganja, and officers stopped it.[1]

Police arrested three people suspected of transporting the ganja.[1][2] Officers also seized the equipment used to move the consignment along with the ganja taken from the three.[1] Police registered a case against the three under the relevant laws.[1] Officers said they were investigating who organised the haul and how far the network extends.[1]

Mothugudem police seized 1 kg of liquid ganja worth Rs 12.50 lakh that they said was being moved from Odisha to Uttar Pradesh.[3] Police said the consignment had come from Telerai village in Malkangiri district, Odisha.[3] Mothugudem sub-inspector Abdul Nasir Hussain led the raid with his staff after police received specific information about the movement.[3]

Eenadu reports that the three were stopped at the Mothugudem bus stop in Chinturu mandal and identified as belonging to Odisha and Uttar Pradesh.[2]
