Pune Customs Seizes Rs 13 Crore Hydro Weed, Arrests Mules and Handler
Customs officials in Pune caught people bringing in a large amount of a special type of marijuana called hydro weed.
This weed is grown indoors and is worth a lot of money.
The officials arrested three people who were carrying the drugs and their handler.
They found the drugs in their luggage after the passengers arrived from Bangkok.
The arrested individuals have been taken into custody, and further investigation is underway.
Hydro weed is more expensive than regular weed because it's grown in a controlled way, which makes it stronger.
Authorities believe that this type of weed poses health risks including addiction.
Pune Customs seized over 13 kilograms of hydroponic marijuana at Pune International Airport.
The seized drugs are valued at over Rs 13 crores.
Four people, including drug mules and their handler, were arrested.
The passengers arrived from Bangkok.
The investigation into the supply and distribution network is ongoing.
