In a separate operation, Ahmedabad police seized 9.801 grams of ganja worth ₹98,000 from the SG Highway area and arrested one person in this connection.

The accused was identified as Nandkishore Yadav.

During interrogation, Yadav revealed that a man named Ramesh from Nepal supplied the ganja.

The Crime Branch has registered a case and initiated an investigation to trace the network involved in this drug trafficking.
