In a major drug bust in Bhubaneswar, Excise Department officials seized 275 grams of brown sugar and arrested three individuals, including a woman and an engineering student, for their involvement in drug trafficking. The arrested suspects have been identified as Rahul Nayak, a B. Tech student; Subhrajyoti, the leader of the group; and Rashmita Padhy, a dancer at a pub.
According to officials, acting on a tip-off, they intercepted a car in the Sundarapada area where the trio was transporting the drugs. During the vehicle inspection, 275 grams of brown sugar was found and seized. Subhrajyoti, who only has a class five education, was reportedly leading the group. The group had been targeting engineering students in the State Capital, selling brown sugar in small packages.
After their arrest and necessary documentation, the trio was forwarded to court. The Excise Department is now working to uncover any other individuals involved in this drug trafficking network.
