The Tekulapally police on Monday seized 120 kg of ganja, worth around ₹30 lakh, from a mini-lorry found abandoned near a fuel station in Tekulapally town.
The police found the contraband concealed in one of the three new iron almirahs in the vehicle bearing Karnataka registration, sources said.
Using the mini-lorry’s registration number, the police traced its owner Mohammad Shakeel of Bidar in Karnataka. When the police contacted him, he reportedly told the police that he had rented out the mini-lorry to one Mazhar, a driver who hails from Bidar. A search for Mazhar is under way.
