Bhopal: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, Ayodhya Nagar police have arrested a man who was allegedly using his job as a Blinkit delivery agent to smuggle and sell ganja.

Delivery job used as a front
Acting on a tip-off, police arrested the suspect, Sumat Thakur (25), a resident of Begumganj, Raisen, who was operating from a rented house in Narela, Ayodhya Nagar.

Aspired to buy a car
During questioning, Thakur confessed that he resorted to drug trafficking to earn quick money, with the goal of buying a car. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-02) Dr. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal confirmed the arrest and the ongoing investigation. The police have registered a case against the accused under the NDPS Act, and he remains in police custody for further interrogation.
