Hashish oil kingpin and 5 associates arrested after island lab raid in Koraput

Koraput district police dismantled a clandestine hashish oil extraction unit hidden on a remote island inside Jolaput reservoir, arresting six members of an inter-state syndicate including the alleged Kerala-based kingpin Allen Jayaraj (33). The amphibious operation, launched on Feb 26, seized 1,800.5 litres of hashish oil valued at Rs 225 crore and 1,000 kg of raw ganja worth Rs 5 crore. A sophisticated improvised lab using a 28KV generator, modified pressure cookers, and chemical solvents was recovered. The lab had been operational for approximately 15 days, set up by Jayaraj who leveraged local contacts in the ganja trade along the Odisha–Andhra Pradesh border.
