The Narcotics Control Bureau is a special police team that works to stop illegal drugs.

They found a very large amount of hashish oil, which is a drug made from the cannabis plant.

The drugs weighed more than 30 kilograms, which is very heavy, like several big bags of rice.

Officers say the drugs are worth over three crore rupees, which is a lot of money.

The police arrested three people who were part of the group selling the drugs.

One man came from Kerala, another from Odisha, and the third was a young student from the same area.

Each person had a different job in the group, like buying, connecting, and carrying the drugs.

The police believe the drugs came from faraway forest areas in Odisha.

Officers acted on special information they received about the group.

Police are still searching for other people involved in this drug network.
