A Gwalior-bound truck, carrying 214 kg of illegal cannabis estimated to be worth around ₹1 crore, was stopped near Babina in Jhansi after traveling approximately 1,227 kilometres from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The truck was intercepted by a joint team of Jhansi Police and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) while just 100 km away from Gwalior.
Two individuals, including the driver, were arrested during the operation. The driver, Satpal, 46, from Haryana's Panipat district, and Mohan Kushwaha, 27, from Gwalior, are accused of being part of a Gwalior-based smuggling network. According to investigators, Mohan claimed that Akash Kushwaha, a neighbor, was the mastermind behind the operation, and the pair had traveled to Bhubaneswar with the help of Akash's associates.
Both accused were reportedly promised financial incentives for their role in the smuggling. Police are now investigating the wider network and seeking additional suspects involved in the alleged scheme.
