According to police sources, the two were caught after thorough investigations into the illicit selling and transportation of ganja in the Boudh district.
To determine the entire scope of the trafficking operation, investigators are still questioning the accused and additional people who are allegedly associated with the network.
Political parties and local activists have questioned the suspected involvement of prominent political personalities in illegal operations, sparking intense political debates in the area as a result of the arrests. As political patronage and accountability come under closer scrutiny, this trend is anticipated to have a major impact on local politics in Boudh, especially in the run-up to elections.
