101 kg ganja worth Rs 10 lakh on Friday. The accused were identified as Shaik Ismail, D Srinu, D Kiran Kumar and P Samba Murthy.

Mahabubabad superintendent of police (SP) N Koti Reddy said that the accused would purchase the ganja in Visakhapatnam at a cheaper rate and transport it illegally.

“The accused stored the drug inside one of the accused Kiran Kumar’s house and were making arrangements to shift the ganja to another location. Following a tip off, Gudur police raided the house and seized 44 packets of the contraband. The accused were arrested while they were trying to flee from the spot,” the SP said.
