Bhubaneswar: The Special Crime Unit of Twin City Commissionerate Police Friday seized 150 gram of brown sugar and arrested two persons, including a teenager, in this connection. The street value of the seized contraband is estimated to be Rs 15 lakh, said a senior cop, adding that two mobile phones and a two-wheeler used for peddling, have been seized from the possession of the accused. Twin City Police Commissioner Sanjeeb Panda said the duo, identified as Sk Chand, 19, and Ram Soren, 24, are residents of Arada Bazar in Balasore district. The duo, who failed to clear the matric exam, might have delved into the drug business to earn quick bucks. But their plan was foiled and they were arrested before delivering the first consignment here.
Giving further details about the case, the police commissioner said acting on a tip-off, the sleuths laid a trap near Pokhariput-Sundarpada bypass and arrested them. They were here to deliver the contraband to a woman dealer, who resides near Laxmi Sagar area. The sleuths have launched an operation to nab the woman too. Police booked them under relevant sections of IPC and forwarded them to a local court Friday
