Pramod (25) and Prashanta (24), both residents of Angul district of Odisha, were arrested after the contraband was found concealed in a cabin of their truck on May 21 during checking of vehicles, DCP (South) B S Jaiswal said.
Three bags were found with each bag containing 42 packets of Ganja duly wrapped in poly-bags. A total of 126 kg of Ganja was recovered from the three bags, the DCP said.
