Police in Udayapur seized about 1,050 kg of marijuana from two locations in a single day, recovering roughly 940 kg from an abandoned pickup in Chargare and arresting a 22-year-old man found with about 110 kg near Saguri Bridge. Officers also took into custody a Bolero vehicle used to transport the marijuana. Police said other people involved in the case remain at large.
Two seizures in one day
The larger consignment, approximately 940 kg, was found inside an abandoned pickup van in Chargare. Police discovered the vehicle and its cargo without anyone present to claim them, according to the information provided about the seizure. The pickup was separate from the Bolero vehicle also taken into custody in connection with the case.
The second seizure took place near Saguri Bridge, where officers arrested a 22-year-old man and recovered roughly 110 kg of marijuana. The two recoveries together amount to about 1,050 kg, or more than one metric tonne. The figures are approximate, but they indicate that the Chargare seizure made up the larger share of the total haul.
The operations involved two different locations and distinct circumstances: one consignment was discovered in an abandoned vehicle, while the other was recovered during the arrest near the bridge. Police have not identified the arrested man in the available details, nor have they provided further information about the ownership of either vehicle.
Police probe continues
Police said additional people believed to be involved have not been arrested and remain at large. The arrest near Saguri Bridge is the only arrest reported in connection with the two seizures. The available information does not specify how many other people are being sought or describe their alleged roles.
The Bolero, which police said was used to transport the marijuana, was taken into custody. The abandoned pickup in Chargare was the vehicle in which the larger quantity was recovered. Details provided about the operation do not say whether the pickup was also formally seized, or whether officers have established a link between the two vehicles beyond their connection to the separate recoveries.
The seizures brought a substantial quantity of marijuana under police control in Udayapur in a single day. Police have not provided further details in the available information about where the marijuana originated, where it was headed, or how the separate consignments were connected. Those questions remain unresolved while other people linked to the case are still at large.
