Interstate Marijuana Trafficking Ring Busted in Cyberabad

Five members of an Assam-based gang were arrested following a 60-day hunt by the EAGLE Force for operating an interstate marijuana trafficking network. Led by former security guard Bhaskar Hazarika, the group transported consignments from Odisha to Hyderabad, moving approximately 400 kg of marijuana over 10 months and generating nearly ₹1.8 crore in sales.

The network utilized a distribution model where each kilogram was divided into 150 small packets sold for ₹300 each to a base of 100 regular consumers. Authorities seized 24.7 kg of marijuana and seven mobile phones during the operation, which involved coordinated efforts with the Choutuppal Police.
