The Rajendranagar police nabbed a man and seized about 124 kilograms of marijuana while he was smuggling it across borders from Odisha to Zaheerabad via Hyderabad.
Police said that they nabbed 26-year-old Sapavath Venkanna, a driver who collected the contraband from Somesh in Odisha and was delivering it to Shivaji in Zaheerabad. Both Somesh and Shivaji are at large.
“He was offered ₹10,000 by the peddlers to transport the drugs across borders. Accordingly, he started from Odisha on Thursday afternoon in a car, bearing the number AP 31 BF 8521. However, he was nabbed by the Rajendranagar police based on a tip off at the Outer Ring Road (ORR) service road,” said the police.
