The Narcotics Control Bureau seized over 28 kg of high-grade hydroponic Ganja at Chennai international airport on the 13th of November. Two female passengers had allegedly procured the contraband in Phuket, Thailand.
Following a tip-off, the officer of NCB Chennai intercepted them at the check-in suitcases and found the contraband concealed inside the suitcases. Both passengers have been arrested after interrogation. Preliminary inquiries indicate that certain individuals in Phuket had handed over the suitcases containing hydrophobic ganja to the accused at the airport, instructing them to transport the bags to Chennai.
An investigation is underway to identify the full network involved, including suppliers, financiers and intended recipients of the contraband inside and outside the country.
