As their replies were evasive, the team checked the vehicle and found ganja hidden inside. Following this, both of them were taken to the station. Based on the information they provided during questioning, the police arrested the other four part of the network. Explaining their modus operandi, officials said the gang would receive orders through WhatsApp and would deliver the narcotic at the doorstep within 30 minutes to one hour. All of them were arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
