In a significant drug bust, Guntur district police arrested three individuals for possession and attempted sale of 500 grams of hydro ganja, valued at approximately Rs7.5 lakh. The arrests were made near Kaza Toll Plaza on April 15, following credible intelligence that led Mangalagiri Rural CI Srinivas Rao and SI Venkateswarlu to conduct a targeted operation.
The accused have been identified as:
Indukuri Ramakrishnam Raju alias Krishna (35)
Puruganti Anil Kumar (30)
Nagaraju Sri Harshavardhan Varma (27)
Guntur SP S. Satish Kumar revealed that the trio sourced the high-grade ganja from a supplier named Amit in Bengaluru, intending to transport and sell it in Eluru.
Authorities are continuing investigations into the supply chain and other accomplices involved. Legal action is being taken under the NDPS Act, and efforts are underway to curb the spread of such potent narcotics in the region.
