Telangana police bust gang smuggling ganja to Sri Lanka from Andhra, 4 held
Mahabubnagar Police in Telangana uncovered an international smuggling network after a car loaded with 180 kg of cannabis (98 packets) from Sileru in Visakhapatnam district crashed into a lorry near Thatikonda. Four suspects were arrested; four remain at large. The network sourced cannabis at Sileru, transported it by car through Telangana to Madurai in Tamil Nadu, then to Rameswaram for sea smuggling to Sri Lanka. Police revealed the complete pricing chain: Rs. 6,000/kg at Sileru (Visakhapatnam), Rs. 11,000/kg in Hyderabad, Rs. 12,000–13,000/kg in Chennai, and up to Rs. 18,000/kg in Sri Lanka. Two of the arrested were habitual offenders with prior ganja transport convictions from 2009, 2014, and 2018. The gang had completed two prior successful trips before being caught on their third run via an alternative Telangana route.
