Hyderabad Man arrested for cultivating ganja in his 3BHK flat
HYDERABAD: A 33-year-old man from Hyderabad in Telangana State, who decided to reap rich dividends through ganja smuggling, was caught by the police on Monday. The accused, to avoid troubles of transporting the ganja from agency areas and other places, decided to grow the trees by himself and for this, he turned his three-bedroom apartment flat into a field.
The Task Force sleuths of Hyderabad police busted the racket and arrested the accused, Syed Hussain of Narsingi police limits. Police seized saplings of ganja from his flat.
Police seized 8.6 Kgs of ganja, 40 pots containing ganja plants, one two-wheeler besides Rs 32,200 from his possession, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police N Koti Reddy said.
It was during the investigation into the case of illegal ganja transportation few days ago that police came to know about the supplier. When the police raided the premises, they found nearly 60 flower pots in which the ganja were being grown. The saplings were in various stages of growth, police said.
For growing the ganja saplings, Syed arranged lights to substitute sun light and also arranged air conditioners to regulate temperature. As ganja plants emanate smell at the last stage of their growth, Syed also made arrangements to see that the neighbours did not smell his misdeed, police said.
