Balangir: About 20 kg of ganja was recovered from a car that had fallen into huge pit full of water at Bhaler village under Puintala tehsil in Odisha’s Balangir district.

According to sources, police reached the spot on being informed about the car by locals. A crane was used to pull the vehicle out. But what shocked police and locals alike was several packets of ganja stashed inside the car. However, there was no trace of the driver.

Later, the ganja recovered from the car was seized and weighed in the presence of a magistrate.

While police are yet to issue a statement on the incident, investigation is underway to ascertain the identity of the owner of the car, the sources added.

This came a day after the sleepy town of Rairakhol in Odisha’s Sambalpur witnessed a rare scene of a hot car chase of police to nab ganja smugglers driving an SUV. 57 kg of ganja was seized from the vehicle.
