Berhampore police seize about one and a half quintals of ganja from a car boot near the new bypass

Bartaman Patrika reported that Berhampore police station raided an area near the new bypass on secret information and recovered about one and a half quintals of ganja packed in sacks in a car boot. The two arrested men were named in the report and their homes placed in the Dinhata area of Cooch Behar. The report said they were produced before the Murshidabad district court and the judge ordered five days of police custody. The outlet's own headline gives 148 kg against the body's one and a half quintals, so the two figures are close but not identical and the body's form is the one carried here.
