In a major breakthrough, Handia police have arrested three individuals involved in an inter-district drug peddling racket. The arrested suspects are Govinda (22), Jeet Bahadur alias Ajeet (37), and Pankaj Jaiswal (38), residents of Imamganj and Baraut.
The arrest occurred near Madhopur Road, where the suspects were planning to deliver a consignment of illegal ganja. Police seized 25.9 kg of ganja and Rs13.46 lakh in cash from their possession. The accused were part of a larger operation that brought illegal drugs from Mirzapur to be distributed in neighboring districts.
A case has been registered against the trio, and authorities are investigating further connections within the drug peddling network.
