Ulhasnagar police conducted an anti-drug operation on Wednesday, resulting in the arrest of two men from Uttar Pradesh and the seizure of 14 kg of ganja, valued at around Rs 7 lakh. The operation was triggered by a tip-off received by Officer Prashant Dhule of the Central police station's crime detection team. The tip-off indicated that two individuals were planning to sell ganja in the Udyog Vihar area, near Vedant College, along the Vitthalwadi railway station road.
Upon receiving the information, police set a trap in the vicinity on Wednesday morning. During the operation, the suspects, Saurabh Virendra Pandey and Akash Arvind Sahani, were apprehended with approximately 14 kg of ganja in their possession. An additional search of their luggage yielded two mobile phones, adding to the total value of the confiscated property, which is estimated at around Rs 8 lakh.
Deputy Commissioners of Police Sachin Gore and Shankar Autade, along with Senior Police Inspector Ashok Koli, led the operation. The team comprised Police Inspector Sheetal Bamane, Sub-Inspector Balasaheb Kobrane, and several other police personnel. A complaint has been filed at the Central police station regarding the seizure, though specific details about the contraband's source and intended buyers remain undisclosed.
