Massive Drug Bust: 2,950 kg of Cannabis Seized in Sirohi
Rajasthan police bust a massive illegal cannabis farming operation in Sirohi, seizing nearly 3,000 kg of plants and arresting four suspects.
In a major crackdown on the narcotics trade, the police in Sirohi, Rajasthan, have dismantled a large-scale illegal cannabis cultivation operation. During a series of targeted raids, law enforcement officials managed to seize a staggering 2,950.84 kilograms of cannabis plants, dealing a significant blow to the local trafficking network.
A Strategic Strike Against Narcotics
The operation was not a matter of chance but a calculated move to curb the growing menace of narcotics in the region. The raids were carried out under the direct instructions of District Superintendent of Police Dr. Ajay Singh Rathore and were closely supervised by Additional Superintendent of Police Narendra Kumar.
Police teams descended upon multiple locations, scanning the landscape for illicit farming activities. Their persistence paid off as they uncovered vast quantities of cannabis being grown in secrecy, leading to the massive seizure of nearly three tonnes of the prohibited plant.
Arrests and Legal Action
The crackdown led to the immediate apprehension of four individuals allegedly involved in the illicit farming. The suspects have been identified as:
- Hosiyar Ram
- Jepuram
- Lasmaram
- Anil Kumar
All four accused are residents of Pagara Phali, located in the Rohida Valoriya region of the Sirohi district. Following the arrests, the police have registered five separate cases under the stringent provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Investigation Ongoing
While the immediate threat of these specific crops has been neutralized, the police are not stopping there. Legal proceedings have been initiated against the four arrested men, and a comprehensive investigation is currently underway to determine if there are larger networks or distributors linked to this cultivation site.
