Bus conductor Srikanth became suspicious and questioned them about the items inside. Panicking, the six fled from there without giving a proper answer.
This alerted him, who immediately brought the luggage bag to the Miyapur police station. Upon opening the bag, police found 18 kg of ganja worth Rs 20 lakh inside.
A case was registered and special teams have been formed to arrest the six absconding accused who were transporting ganja.
Kukatpally DCP Rithiraj personally felicitated Srikanth for acting responsibly towards the community and helping in the seizure of the ganja.
