The recovery was made based on a secret tip-off, but the accused fled the scene before police could apprehend him.
The operation, led by Bishalgarh Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sanjit Sen, uncovered five large drums filled with dry ganja hidden underground in Prabir Bhowmik’s premises. Sources revealed that the dealer had packed the contraband and was preparing to smuggle it out of the state.
