Major Drug Bust in Pratapgarh: 4.75 Kilograms of Marijuana Seized

Pratapgarh, March 26: The Arnod police in Pratapgarh district conducted a significant operation named “Operation Trinetra,” resulting in the seizure of 4.75 kilograms of illegal marijuana. The estimated value of the confiscated drugs is around 300,000 rupees. Authorities also impounded a motorcycle used for transporting the narcotics.

According to reports, the police received a tip-off from an informant, prompting them to set up a blockade on the route from Gautameshwar to Odha, near the Rampuriya Ghati. During this operation, they spotted an individual riding a motorcycle without a license plate, with a white bag strapped to his back.
