Railway police inspecting the coaches at Vadodara railway station found marijuana in tiffin boxes, but they are yet to locate the owner of the bag that contained the illegal drug. 

Based on a tip-off, the railway police had kept a watch for a train travelling from Puri to Gandhidham that arrived at Vadodara railway station on Wednesday.

On inspecting the train, they discovered an unclaimed blue cotton bag in the general coach, near the washroom.

To determine the contents of the bag, a dog was brought in. The dog sniffed the bag and started barking, indicating something suspicious inside.

The railway police then asked passengers if the bag belonged to anyone. After no one claimed it, they opened the bag and found a green saree and two steel containers. One container had pickle, and the other contained rasgulla, but beneath both containers was a plastic bag containing marijuana.

The railway police seized the marijuana, valued at ₹52,400, along with the other items in the bag, bringing the total worth of the material to ₹52,900.

The railway police have registered a complaint regarding the incident and initiated an investigation to identify the owner of the bag.
