Nanded, Nov 16: Two accused arrested yesterday in connection with the Ganja Seizure of 1,127 kgs in the Nanded district of Maharashtra will be produced before a local court on Tuesday for NCB remand.
The NCB raids in connection with the seizure are underway at two places in Nanded. The agency is trying to nab the receiver of the consignment in Jalgaon who is said to be a regular offender in drug cases.
NCB sources further informed that the location where the drugs were located is near the Naxal belt of the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and therefore the agency is also not ruling out the Naxal angle in the case.
