Police achieved a major success in their ongoing crackdown against illegal transportation of narcotic substances in the district by arresting a युवक and recovering a large quantity of ganja during a joint operation conducted by Ghumka Police Station and the Cyber Police Station team.

Tip-Off Leads to Police Action

According to information received, on May 4, 2026, police got a tip-off from an informer that a person was transporting illegal ganja on a motorcycle via the Durg–Somni road towards Mudpar through Kaldabri.

Acting on the information, a special team was constituted under the direction of Superintendent of Police Ankita Sharma.

Joint Team Sets Up Checking Point

Under the supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police Kirtan Rathore and City Superintendent of Police Vaishali Jain, and guidance of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Dongargaon Manjulata Baj, a checking point was established at Gram Kaldabri (Daswan Mile Chowk).

During checking, a white-blue Bajaj Pulsar motorcycle (CG 13 AS 1229) matching the informer’s description was spotted approaching the checkpoint. On noticing the police presence, the rider attempted to flee but was apprehended after a swift police cordon.

Upon search, police recovered seven packets containing a total of 14 kilograms and 520 grams of ganja from the accused’s backpack. The estimated value of the seized narcotics is approximately ₹1.45 lakh.
