Customs seize 2 kg of hydroponic ganja from a passenger arriving from Ho Chi Minh City at Bengaluru airport

Country and Politics reported that customs officials at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, seized 2 kilograms of hydroponic ganja from a passenger who arrived from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, at about 10.35 pm on 16 September 2026. Officials put the value at about 70 lakh rupees and said an investigation was under way to establish the source of the drug and its intended destination. Deccan Herald later grouped the case with three Bangkok arrivals in a combined report of 22 September 2026, describing it as the most recent of the group, and that report is the origin of the widely repeated Monday dating.
