Ajayarvind Namdev, Shahdol. The police had recovered Rs 3 crore 6 lakh 8 thousand by seizing precious ganja from a farm located in the forest of village Girui Khurd under Jaisinghnagar police station in the district. A total of 38 quintals of 26 kg 600 grams of hemp were hidden in 121 sacks found in an abandoned condition in a hut near the retired forest worker’s farm, which was seized by the police on May 19. In this high-profile drug smuggling case, the police have arrested Kanhaiya Lal Gupta alias Gollai, a resident of Beauhari and Rajesh Tiwari alias Raju, a resident of Beauhari after intensive interrogation of more than 12 suspects. The interrogation revealed that the accused were trying to smuggle the hemp outside the district, but the police vigilance caught him already.
Borians filled with cannabis found in retired forest worker farm
The case came to light when the police received secret information on May 19 that some suspicious activities were taking place in a hut near Girui Khurd village. When the team reached the spot, when searched the hut, the police also flew away. There was a hemp worth millions of rupees in the sacks inside. The place is said to be near the farm of a retired forest employee, causing the whole matter to become more sensational. When the police interrogated more than 12 suspects in the area to investigate the case, it was revealed that the owner of this cannabis is not a common criminal, but Kanhaiya Lal Gupta alias Gollai, a resident of Beauhari, and Rajesh Tiwari alias Raju, a resident of Tihiki village. Both had been involved in this intoxication of intoxication for a long time and had made this deserted hut as their secret warehouse within the forest. It has become clear that it was not a minor smuggling, but part of an organized network, which is spread over several districts and potential states.
As soon as the news spread in this high-profile case, there was a stir in local politics. The names of some local influential leaders to join this racket became a matter of discussion. Although the police have not confirmed these names yet, these leaders have breathed a sigh of relief after the arrest of the smugglers. This incident has definitely raised the question that the drug business is limited to criminals only, or the shadow of influential people falls on this dark business.
SP Chaturvedi, the station in -charge of Jaisinghnagar police station, was suspended, while deciding the responsibility of being negligent in this whole case and not getting timely information. In his place, now Ajay Baiga has been appointed as the police station in -charge, who have been given clear instructions that strict action should be taken against the drug addicts in the district under the zero tolerance policy.
This action of Shahdol Police remains a matter of discussion in the entire state. While this operation is a proof of the promptness of the police, on the other hand it also raises the question as to how such a large drug stores stood in the farm of the retired officer in the middle of the forest, and on whose instigation.
