Tufanganj police seize ganja from a concealed compartment in a car at the Raidak checkpost

Millennium Post reported that Tufanganj police recovered ganja in 58 packets during a routine checkpoint operation near a bridge on National Highway 31, concealed in a purpose built vault in a car. The driver was named in the report and described as a resident of Gujarat, and was taken into custody. The paper put the market value at several lakh rupees. The two outlets covering this seizure give different quantities, Millennium Post about 450 kg and Uttarbanga Sambad 444 kg, so no figure is carried here.
