DSP Sk Abdul Rahman, addressing the media, revealed that the discovery occurred during routine vehicle inspections at Regalla crossroads, located on the outskirts of the town. A specially constructed chamber within a truck revealed 650 kg of ganja.
The arrested individuals are Sundar Ram, the owner and driver of the truck, and Suresh, the lorry cleaner, both hailing from Alai village in Nagaur tehsil of Nagaur district, Rajasthan.
