The Ahmedabad crime branch recovered ₹1.15 crore of hybrid cannabis (ganja or marijuana) from the Sub Foreign Post Office in Shahibaug on May 31.

Acting on a tip, the customs department and Ahmedabad crime branch checked a total of 14 parcels that were sent from the US, Canada, and Thailand at the post office.

In these parcels, hybrid cannabis was found packed inside teddy bears, toys, dresses, lunch boxes, and candy.

These parcels were destined for Botad, Anand, Gandhinagar and Bopal. The value of those parcels was estimated at ₹1.15 crore. However, all the names and addresses mentioned on the parcels were found to be fake.

In this latest case, an investigation is underway to find the sender and receiver of the parcels. 

A few months ago, the Ahmedabad cybercrime branch seized a large quantity of hybrid cannabis from parcels that were sent by air cargo from the same post office.
