Jaipur, Jan 20 (IANS) Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) Police Headquarters, along with Chirawa and Surajgarh Police, intercepted a truck container carrying 204 kilograms of ganja in the Surajgarh area of Jhunjhunu district and arrested the driver.

An official said that the seized ganja is valued at approximately ₹2.50 crore.

Teams led by Sub-Inspector Subhash Tanwar and assisted by other officers from AGTF and local police pursued the truck for hours.

He added that the operation was supervised by the Additional Director General (ADG) of the Police, Anti-Gangster Task Force, Dinesh MN, and Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Yogesh Yadav.
He said that Constable Harish of AGTF Chirawa provided the critical intelligence that initiated the raid. The team included officers from AGTF headquarters and the Chirawa and Surajgarh police, who worked in tandem to execute the operation.
