Wyra police arrested three members of an inter-state drug peddling gang and seized 128 kilograms of dry ganja on May 15, 2024 [1], [2].
The operation highlights the ongoing struggle to disrupt organized drug trafficking networks that move illegal substances across state lines into Telangana. These networks often utilize remote outskirts of towns to avoid detection during transit.
The arrests took place near Somavaram village, located on the outskirts of Wyra town in the Khammam district [1], [2]. Police said the seized dry ganja has an estimated value of ₹64 lakh [1].
Of the three individuals taken into custody, two are from Odisha and one is from Andhra Pradesh [1]. The suspects were intercepted as part of a broader police strategy to target the movement of narcotics through the region [1], [2].
Authorities said the three suspects [2] were operating as part of a coordinated gang. The seizure of 128 kilograms [1] of the substance represents a significant blow to the local supply chain managed by these inter-state traffickers.
“Police seized 128 kilograms of dry ganja and arrested three drug peddlers.”
The arrest of individuals from Odisha and Andhra Pradesh indicates a multi-state logistics chain used to funnel narcotics into Telangana. The high monetary value of the seizure suggests a high-volume operation, signaling that Wyra and the surrounding Khammam district may be key transit points for inter-state drug trafficking networks.
