At 1.30 am on Saturday morning, the police team led by Sub-Inspector Hemant Kumar Tamang, who was on regular patrol, conducted an inquiry when two Scorpions were spotted 100 meters east of the Bihul bridge on Hulaki Highway in Bodebarsine Municipality-3 of Saptari District.
When the police patrol team began to surround them, they got into a Scorpio and ran away from the other policemen along with the driver of the Scorpio.
which five armed police could not stop. After one of the Scorpios escaped, the police examined the 30 pokas that were loaded into another Scorpio at the scene and dumped on its side. The police seized 711 kilos of drug marijuana. The police also seized a Scorpio loaded with ganja with the number 1-02-002 Ch 5834 at the scene.
On Saturday morning, the police found 670 kilos of marijuana in a dry condition from a man's straw shed in Balanbihul rural municipality-1 Kamaldaha, 300 meters west of the place where the marijuana was seized.
On November 4, the police seized 1717 kilos of ganja along with a tipper and driver from Rajgarh Rural Municipality-4. Even on Saturday, in the last few months, the police seized a large quantity of narcotic marijuana from Saptari. Although a large amount of marijuana has been seized, the police have not been able to arrest the dealers or those involved in smuggling. Even on Saturday morning, while the marijuana was being seized, the accused managed to escape by leaving one Scorpio and riding in another Scorpio while challenging the police team. The police team could neither stop those involved in smuggling nor identify the scorpions that escaped.
Until some time ago, smugglers used to smuggle ganja to India with the help of boats on the Koshi River through the Koshi Barrage of Saptari. But in recent times the western border of Saptari has become an easy route for ganja smugglers. Even though the police seized a large quantity of marijuana, the process of bringing it and smuggling it to India has not been stopped.
According to Saptari Police Chief SP Dhakendra Khatiwada, the ganja that is being arrested many times comes from the eastern hilly districts. According to police sources, the cannabis produced in the eastern hilly district including Dhankuta is stored in Sangurigarhi Rural Municipality of Dhankuta and from there it is transported to Saptari in large vehicles including Scorpios and then stored in the settlements of the western border and smuggled towards India.
Saptari police chief SP Dhakendra Khatiwada, who has repeatedly seized large quantities of marijuana, says, "From the investigation so far, it has been found that saptari was brought from the eastern hilly districts, which we have seized." The initial estimate of the police is that the marijuana seized last Saturday morning may have come from Dhankuta.
Jitendra Rumdali Rai, president of Dhankuta's Sangurigarhi village municipality, says, "I am not aware of the cultivation of cannabis in our municipality, but if it is taken from other districts, the road of Sangurigarhi municipality can be used."
Dhankuta SP Shyamsingh Chaudhary claimed that a large amount of cannabis plants had already been destroyed in Dhankuta and prepared cannabis had also been seized. "We are also taking control of a very large amount of marijuana, we are also destroying the plant," said SP Chaudhary.
District Police Office Bhojpur Police Inspector Arabind Sah claimed that Bhojpur police also destroyed marijuana during the harvest. He said, "We destroyed the hemp plants that were wrapped and planted from Kartik to Pus. Now I am hearing that there are places where they are growing on their own in the forest. We are going to destroy them too." Although the police chiefs of the hilly districts claim that they are destroying hemp, the fact that large quantities of hemp are being smuggled to India through Saptari has been shown by the investigation of the seized marijuana.
