Kothagudem police have arrested two ganja smugglers and seized 121 kg of ganja worth approximately ₹60 lakh in a major crackdown on drug trafficking. The operation was carried out by the Burgampad police, who intercepted the smugglers during a vehicle check on the outskirts of the town.
Smuggling Route and Arrest
According to Paloncha DSP Sathish Kumar, the accused—Vankudoth Sai Kumar from Sarapaka in Burgampad mandal and Pedamutyam Vamshi from Polipaka in Kunavaram mandal of ASR district, Andhra Pradesh—were caught near Sammakka-Sarlamma Gaddelu on Saturday.
Investigations revealed that the duo procured the contraband from a dealer in Kalimela, Odisha.
