Two interstate drug peddlers were arrested by the EAGLE Force along with Patancheru police for selling marijuana to local labourers near a dairy farm in Kardanoor village, Patancheru, on Saturday (October 31). Police seized 1.150 kg of marijuana worth ₹57,000 from them and apprehended four consumers.

The accused were identified as Sanchit Roy, 50, a labourer at Govind Rao Dairy Farm, and Mahesh Kumar, 32, a security guard at Devi Parking Yard opposite the dairy farm. Both are natives of Patna in Bihar.

According to the police, Roy had been working at the dairy farm for the past three years and earned ₹20,000 a month. Kumar had shifted to Hyderabad around two years ago and had allegedly been assisting Roy in selling marijuana for the past year.
