In a major operation aimed at curbing drug-related activities, the Central Crime Station (CCS) arrested Bappa Sutradhar, a 23-year-old cook employed at the Chennai Tiffin Centre located at Mohanpura and seized approximately 1.570 kilograms of Ganja. The arrest followed critical information received by PS CCS on September 5, 2023.
Bappa Sutradhar, a permanent resident of Nadia District, West Bengal, currently resides in a rented accommodation in the Mohanpura area. A tip-off alerted the dedicated CCS team that Sutradhar had received a clandestine shipment of around 2 kilograms of Ganja from West Bengal. The contraband was ingeniously concealed within a footwear parcel and had been delivered to him through HF Courier Services approximately four days ago.
During the subsequent police operation, officers seized 1.570 kilograms of Ganja from Sutradhar’s possession.
The arrested individual is currently under interrogation, and the police are conducting a thorough investigation into the case. The CCS reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the law and ensuring the safety of the community.
Law enforcement authorities urged all residents to remain vigilant and promptly report any information related to criminal activities to the police. The CCS reiterated its determination to take swift and stringent action against those involved in illicit drug trafficking, leaving no room for leniency.
Members of the general public have been requested to stay alert and report any suspicious activities related to drug trafficking or substance abuse to the police through various telephone numbers: 112/100, 232586, 233307, and 9531856080. The collaborative efforts of the community and law enforcement agencies aim to create a safer and drug-free society for everyone.
