Andhramath Police in Madhubani district have made a significant breakthrough in their ongoing campaign against drug trafficking. Late on Thursday night, the police arrested an individual named Ramdev Shah from Baghua village, seizing 3.167 kilograms of ganja from his possession. The market value of the confiscated ganja is estimated to be in the lakhs.

According to Police Station In-charge Deepak Kumar, they received confidential information that Ramdev Shah was illegally selling ganja from his home. Following the confirmation of this intelligence, a police team conducted a raid on his residence late Thursday night. Upon seeing the police, Ramdev Shah attempted to flee but was apprehended by the officers. During the search, 3.167 kilograms of ganja, packed in a plastic bag, was recovered from a room in his house.

The police confiscated the ganja on the spot and registered an FIR against Ramdev Shah under the relevant sections of the NDPS Act. After questioning, he was presented before the court on Wednesday and subsequently sent to judicial custody. During interrogation, the accused revealed that he purchased ganja at a low price and sold it at higher prices in surrounding areas. The police are now investigating the source of the consignment and the individuals involved in its distribution.

Station In-charge Deepak Kumar affirmed that drug trafficking in the region would not be tolerated at any cost, and strict vigilance is being maintained against such activities. He appealed to the public to report any information regarding drug smuggling or sales, assuring that the identity of informants would be kept confidential. Police anticipate further arrests as they identify other smugglers connected to this network.
