Authorities recovered a total of 506 kilograms of Ganja, 85 kilograms of Hashish, and 56 kilograms of Hydro Ganja from the suspects, with an estimated market value of approximately ₹1.5 crore. Officials stated that the seizure represents a significant blow to organized drug networks operating in and around Bengaluru. The arrested Individuals are currently in police custody and are being interrogated to trace the source of the consignment and identify any additional accomplices involved in the distribution chain.

Police officials urged citizens to report any suspicious activity, highlighting that community cooperation is crucial in preventing the spread of illegal substances.
