According to a police spokesperson, Yashpal, the narcotics were seized from a location in Sector 58 on Wednesday. The recovery followed an interception by a police patrol acting on suspicion of drug peddling. The accused — Wasim, a resident of Kosikalan village in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh; Babli Kaur, from Nangloi in Delhi; and Asha Kaur, from Tilak Vihar in Delhi — were found in possession of the Ganja, which was packed in three plastic bags.

The police investigation revealed the accused had sourced the narcotics from Orissa and were planning to distribute them across various parts of Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
