Hyderabad: Pusher held, ganja seized

Hyderabad: A 23-year-old drug peddler who was supplying ganja to engineering students was nabbed by Rachakonda SOT police on Friday. The cops seized 1.5 kg ganja from Gyaneshwar.

Over a period of time, he learnt the secrets of the trade, and turned a peddler four months ago. During his first deal he purchased half kg ganja from Araku in Vizag, and supplied it to students in Hayathnagar. Two days ago, he purchased 1.5 kg from Arakau and came to Hyderabad. The police tracked him to Araku. On Friday when he reached Hyderabad, the police nabbed him. 

Police found that he used to purchase ganja for around Rs 2,500 per kg and spent around Rs 2,000 on travel. He made a profit of around Rs 10,000 by selling a kg of ganja. 

The police is checking details of students who purchased ganja from him.
