"They had already sourced almost one tonne (1,000 kg) of ganja utilizing the platform, Amazon in the previous four months." Bhind DSP Manoj Kumar Singh informed that monetary transactions of Rs 1.10 crore had taken place in the last four months.

According to Singh, the two are members of a "drug-dealing gang." Now the police are looking for "another four identified and six unidentified accused" in the case. Investigators believe the leader trafficked marijuana to operatives in Bhind (MP), Agra (UP), Delhi, Gwalior (MP), and Kota under the pretext of curry leaves (kadi Patta).
