In a swift and coordinated operation, Rangat Police foiled an illegal drug trafficking attempt at Dashratpur, Rangat, and seized approximately one kilogram of ganja from a suspect. The action followed credible intelligence received by the police.
The operation was carried out under the direction of Mr. Chandan G.S., DANIPS, SDPO Rangat, and led by Inspector Mohd. Sameer, SHO, PS Rangat.
