Gomtipur police arrested a 20-year-old man after allegedly recovering 3.093 kg of ganja worth ₹1.54 lakh from a scooter without a number plate near Chatur Singh Crossroads in Ahmedabad.

The accused was identified as Fardeen alias Duggu Umarhusen Mohammadali Saiyed, who currently lives at Girdhar Master Compound on ITI Road in Saraspur and is originally from Madni Mohalla in Gomtipur.

Police Intercept Number Plate-Less Scooter

According to police, a team was patrolling the area when it noticed Fardeen riding a Burgman scooter without a number plate on the road between Chatur Singh Crossroads and Haribhai Godani Circle.

The officers stopped the scooter and questioned him before carrying out a search.

Police allegedly found three separate parcels wrapped in plastic bags and sealed with cellotape inside the scooter. An FSL official conducted a spot test with a chemical kit, which confirmed the substance as ganja.

A digital weighing scale showed the total quantity at 3.093 kg, with the seized ganja valued at ₹1,54,650.

Scooter, Mobile Phone Also Seized

Along with the contraband, police seized the scooter, a mobile phone, documents and other items. The total value of the seized property was estimated at around ₹2.54 lakh.

During preliminary questioning, Fardeen allegedly told police that he had procured the ganja from Fakhruddin alias Taklo alias Mulla, a resident of Madni Mohalla in Gomtipur.

Police suspect the contraband was intended for retail sale.

Search Underway For Alleged Supplier

Gomtipur police have registered a case against Fardeen and launched a search for Fakhruddin, who is currently absconding.

The investigation is underway to trace the alleged supply chain and establish further details about the source of the seized ganja.
