156.6 kg ganja seized in state capital, 1 held

Lucknow: The Lucknow police and the Special Task Force (STF) seized 156.6 kg of ganja worth ₹40 lakh and arrested one trafficker during a joint operation in Nagram's Patwa Kheda area on Sunday. The accused, Shivam Yadav (28) of Semapur Achaka, was caught with the contraband hidden in 77 packets across eight sacks inside an SUV. His associate, Suraj Singh of Sultanpur, escaped by fleeing into nearby fields. According to the police, the duo smuggled ganja from Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, stored it at a poultry farm and sold it in Lucknow and nearby districts. Both met in jail in 2022 and resumed drug trafficking after release. They used luxury vehicles and frequently changed routes to evade detection. Police registered a case under NDPS Act sections 8/20/29/60. The team involved was rewarded ₹15,000 by the DCP, Lucknow East.

Jhalawar civic body chairman on the run after clerk arrested for bribe

Kota: The chairman of Jhalawar municipal council, Sanjay Shukla, is absconding after Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Monday arrested a clerk and a middleman for taking a bribe on his behalf. Clerk Akash Kalosiya, posted at Jhalawar municipal council, and a tout, identified as Ajay Kumar, were arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 30,000 on behalf of Shukla, ASP at Jhalawar ACB, Prerna Shekhawat, said. Shukla had allegedly demanded Rs 50,000 as bribe to clear a land conversion file pending for four. The bribe amount, through negotiation, was settled at Rs 40,000, and Shukla asked it to be paid to his clerk, Shekhawat said. The victim approached ACB Jhalawar on July 21 and registered a complaint, following which ACB conducted verification and then laid a trap, she said. A case under relevant sections of ACB Act has been registered against the three accused and further investigation is underway, she said. TNN
