Police in Udayapur seized a total of 1,040 kg and 440 grams of marijuana from two locations in the district at around 2 am on Monday, impounding a Bolero vehicle used to transport the drugs and arresting one young man. The largest consignment, weighing 940 kg and 440 grams, was recovered from the Rani Tar-Beltar inner road section at Charghare in Chaudandigadhi Municipality-1, according to the District Police Office, Udayapur. Other people allegedly involved remain at large.
Large consignment recovered in Chaudandigadhi
The seizure included two separate recoveries, with the Charghare operation accounting for 940 kg and 440 grams of marijuana. Police found the larger consignment along the inner road connecting Rani Tar and Beltar, in Chaudandigadhi Municipality-1. The District Police Office said the operation took place at about 2 am on Monday.
The total amount seized across both locations was 1,040 kg and 440 grams. That means the second recovery accounted for 100 kg, in addition to the larger consignment found at Charghare. The available details do not identify the second location or explain the circumstances of that recovery.
Police also impounded a Bolero vehicle that had been used to transport the marijuana. One young man was taken into custody in connection with the seizure. The police account did not provide further details about the arrested man or specify the vehicle's owner.
Other people involved remain at large
Police said other people involved in the transport or handling of the marijuana had not been arrested and remained at large. The reported seizure therefore involved both a substantial quantity of drugs and a wider group of people who have yet to be taken into custody.
The district police have not provided additional information about where the marijuana was headed, where it originated, or how the two consignments were connected. No further details were given about the status of the arrested man or any legal proceedings.
The recovery was reported by the District Police Office, Udayapur. The reported figures indicate that the two seizures together exceeded one metric tonne of marijuana, while the impounded Bolero and the arrest were the immediate outcomes disclosed by police. With other people involved still at large, the case remains focused on identifying those connected to the consignments.
