Puri Police Bust Major Ganja Racket, Seize 1 Quintal From Rented House

Puri police have uncovered a large-scale drug operation, seizing nearly one quintal of ganja from a rented house near Gopalpur Pharmacy College.

During the raid, officers recovered 176 packets of ganja along with bundles of cash in ₹500, ₹200, and ₹100 denominations, suspected to be proceeds from the illegal trade.

Two individuals were arrested on the spot, and authorities are investigating the supply chain to determine the source and intended destination of the contraband.

The rented house was allegedly being used as a warehouse, raising concerns about unchecked drug activity in the tourist city.

Police have intensified efforts to dismantle the wider network behind the racket.
