Amdanga police seize about 200 kg of ganja from a van on National Highway 12

Ei Muhurte reported that Amdanga police stopped an engine van on National Highway 12 near the old registry office. The report said the driver first told officers the van held empty plastic bottles, which was what was visible, but that a search found sacks of ganja underneath them. Police sources were reported as putting the quantity at about 200 kg with an estimated market value of 20 lakh rupees. The report is dated 27 February 2026 and gives no separate date for the seizure, so the recorded date is the date of the report.
