2 ganja smugglers from Maha arrested at Secunderabad railway station

Hyderabad: Two persons from Nashik, Maharashtra, were arrested by the Government Railway Police on Wednesday for smuggling ganja. The police seized 18 kg of contraband from the accused.
The arrested accused have been identified as Mubeen Ahmed Raheem Khan and Nafees Afsar Khan, both from Maharashtra. Raheem and Afsar were involved in selling sarees in Manmad.

Police said Atiq lured the other two with the promise of Rs 5,000 for each trip. Atiq, Raheem and Afsar formed a gang and started transporting ganja from Visakhapatnam to Maharashtra. "Raheem and Afsar frequently visited Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru and some other places," police added.
Police said that Raheem and Afsar had successfully transported ganja by train in the past. A few days ago, the duo went to Visakhapatnam where they were given a trolley bag containing the ganja by a person. "The duo boarded the Nagavali Express train with the bag. But when they saw heavy police deployment at Kazipet, Raheem and Afsar got down and took a bus to Secunderabad railway station as they were planning to catch a train to Manmad," the police said, adding that on suspicion, when the police officers checked the bag, they found the ganja inside.
Railway police arrested Raheem and Afsar. Atiq from Maharashtra is absconding, police said.
