Ranchi police and the Narcotics Control Bureau reported seizing 97 kg of cannabis and arresting three people in the Nagri area on October 2. The Times of India and local outlet Lagatar reported the joint operation that day, attributing the seizure and arrest details to police.
Rural Superintendent of Police Gaurav Goswami said investigators suspected the consignment was travelling from Odisha towards Hazaribag. Officers said they intercepted a car after receiving information about the movement. The alleged route and the arrested men's roles remain matters for investigation.
Lagatar reported that the vehicle was also seized and that investigators were questioning the suspects about the supplier and intended recipient. This account does not establish the membership or size of any wider criminal group.
The available reports contain no response from the accused or their lawyers and no court finding. Arrests and a reported recovery should not be treated as convictions; the alleged substance and supply chain require evidentiary scrutiny.
