A woman who allegedly made monthly trips from Chhattisgarh to Hyderabad to supply ganja procured from Odisha was among three persons arrested after the EAGLE Force and LB Nagar police busted an inter-state drug supply network and seized 6 kgs of the contraband worth ₹3 lakh.
The arrests were made on Monday morning when the accused allegedly arrived in LB Nagar to deliver the consignment.
