Parsa police have seized a large quantity of narcotic hashish from a drug trafficking gang. The market value of seized 319 kg hashish is around one crore rupees. In a press conference held at District Police Office Parsa on Thursday, the police released a person involved in drug smuggling along with seized hashish.
In a press conference, Police Superintendent of Parsa, Gautam Mishra, said that the hashish was recovered from a cargo truck numbered 2-03-001 B 6348, which was coming from Kathmandu to Birgunj.
On Wednesday afternoon, a joint police team deployed from District Police Office Parsa and Sirsia police station started searching for the truck after receiving a special information from Chief Police Senior Deputy Inspector Gagan Bahadur Shahi of Police Station Sirsia that the truck was coming from Kathmandu towards Birganj.
During that time, the truck was found parked on the road section of Parwanipur Chowk, Birgunj Metropolitan Municipality-21 at 7:30 pm on Wednesday night. The driver of the truck, Buddhi Bahadur Syangtan, 36, a resident of Makwanpur, Thaha Municipality-12, was arrested and during a legal search of the truck and the driver, 13 pieces of hashish, weighing 319 kg, were found hidden in a white plastic bag in the back of the truck.
One lakh 92 thousand rupees was also found from the right pocket of the half pants worn by the driver Syangtan. Superintendent of Police Mishra said that more investigation is being done after taking permission from the Parsa District Court for five days on the drug-related crime against Syangtan. During interrogation, Syangtan said that he had brought the hashish from Dhading district and there was a plan to take it to India from Sirsia dry port area in Birganj.
Earlier, only large quantities of narcotic marijuana were found, but this time they succeeded in seizing hashish, which is considered more sensitive than that, the police said. The police informed that after the cultivation and production of gaja and hashish, especially in the difficult areas of Makwanpur and Dhading, the gangs of drug smugglers hide on the roads of Parsa National Park and in cargo vehicles and take them to India through the rural border of Birgunj and Parsa.
