New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS) An interstate ganja supplier was arrested and 305 kg of the contraband valued at Rs 2 crore in the international market was recovered from his possession in the national capital, an official said here on Tuesday.
The accused was identified as Shyam Sundar, 29, a resident of Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh.
Furnishing details, DCP (Dwarka) Shankar Choudhary said information was received on February 12 that some persons, engaged in the supply of ganja in the Najafgarh area, would come to supply the narcotic in a truck and if a trap was laid at Jhatikra road, they could be nabbed with a huge quantity of the contraband.
Accordingly, a team was constituted which laid a trap at the specified location on the intervening night of February 12-13 and the accused was apprehended.
During questioning, the accused revealed that the body of the recovered truck was modified by his associates to conceal the ganja during transportation.
"After the due formalities of the NDPS Act, his body search and the search of the truck was conducted and 61 packets of ganja (5 kg each) were found inside various specially designed cavities in the truck," the DCP said in a media briefing.
"The seized ganja packets were stored in 20 plastic sacks and weighed on an electronic weighing machine. Their total weight was found to be 305 kg. A case under sections 20 and 25 of the NDPS Act was registered at Chhawla police station and an investigation was taken up."
"During interrogation, the accused disclosed that he was supplying the ganja on the directions of one Wasim who is a resident of Muradabad, UP. He procured ganja from Burhanpur district in Odisha. Further investigation is on," the official added.
What everyone believes at Ekal Vidyalaya is that “change is possible and education can be the medium to bring the change in the life of the last man in the last row in the remotest parts of India.”
Amid the turmoil within the ruling Congress party and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal's visit to Punjab, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Wednesday announced to waive pending electricity bills of 55 lakh defaulters, covering 80 per cent of the total consumers.
Sidhu resigned much to the dismay of the Congress party and on the day when the party was going gaga over the joining of Kanhaiya Kumar and Jignesh Mevani.
He was accompanied by AAP Punjab President and MP Bhagwant Mann, Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh, co-in-charge Raghav Chadha, MLAs Aman Arora, Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Baljinder Kaur, Amarjit Singh Sandoa, and Master Baldev Singh, among others.
On Tuesday, IANS had first ran the story -- "'Upset' Amarinder likely to meet Shah, his office denies". Since then, speculation was doing the rounds about a likely meeting between the two leaders. However, Singh's media advisor Raveen Thukral had then denied the former meeting Shah and BJP chief J.P. Nadda, saying he's on a personal visit to Delhi to meet 'some friends'.
The petitioner contended that her daughter is a permanent resident of the US, while her son holds an American passport. Jauhar argued that children have been taken to an "undisclosed destination", as they are neither in Chennai nor at Tamil Nadu's Virudhnagar, and that his client suspects they have been taken to Maharashtra.
