Churaibari Police seize 960 kg ganja from truck and arrest two Uttar Pradesh residents

On Monday 12 May 2025 around 2:00 pm, Churaibari Police intercepted a six-wheeler truck heading from Agartala to Guwahati at the Churaibari naka point on the Tripura-Assam border, North Tripura district, and recovered approximately 960 kg of dried cannabis concealed inside ten electronic transformers. The contraband was packed in 96 bundles of 10 kg each. Officials estimated the seized material at approximately ₹3.5 to ₹4 crore in the illegal market. Suspicion arose during the inspection when officers noticed that nuts on several of the transformers being transported appeared unusually loose. Two individuals were arrested: truck driver Awadhesh Kumar (42) and co-driver Pramod Kumar (59), both residents of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. A case was registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985. The operation was led by Churaibari Police Station Officer-in-Charge Inspector Khokan Saha.
