Rajasthan’s Biggest Anti-Drug Crackdown: AGTF Seizes 1,014 Kg Ganja Worth ₹5 Crore in ‘Operation Prahar’
Jhunjhunu, October 3 (Udaipur Kiran News): In a major breakthrough against drug trafficking, Rajasthan Police’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), led by ADG Dinesh M.N., has launched the state’s largest anti-narcotics operation — ‘Operation Prahar’ — successfully dismantling a major smuggling network.
In a joint operation with Jhunjhunu’s District Special Team (DST), the AGTF seized 1,014 kilograms of ganja worth ₹5 crore, being transported from Odisha in a concealed container truck (RJ 32 GA 8137). The police nabbed two key smugglers from Sikar, identified as Subhash Gurjar and Pramod Gurjar.
🚨 The Operation
The operation began after a confidential tip-off, prompting a specialized team led by Inspector Subhash Singh to track the movement of the consignment. Acting swiftly, police set up a naka (checkpoint) in Udaipurwati (Jhunjhunu) and intercepted the truck in filmi style.
Upon inspection, the team discovered a hidden chamber behind the driver’s seat, ingeniously designed to evade detection. However, AGTF’s sharp vigilance paid off — once opened, the chamber revealed sacks containing over 1,014 kg of ganja.
According to sources, the consignment was destined for Shekhawati’s major drug lords — Raju Pachlangi and Gokul. Officials called this not just a seizure, but a “surgical strike” against the roots of the narcotics network in the region.
👮♂️ Police Team and Leadership
The high-level operation was conducted under the supervision of ASP Siddhant Sharma, with key contributions from:
-
ASI Shankar Dayal Sharma (AGTF Rajasthan)
-
Constable Sandeep Gandhi (Jhunjhunu)
-
Head Constables Kamal Singh & Shashikant (technical support)
-
Head Constable Suresh Kumar and Constables Naresh Kumar, Ratiram, and Suresh Kumar
The operation was expertly led by Inspector Subhash Singh, with active participation from CO Nawalgarh, SHO Udaipurwati, and AGTF Jhunjhunu Unit.
⚖️ Major Impact
