Law enforcement agencies have launched a widened manhunt to identify and apprehend accomplices connected to an injured ganja peddler currently under investigation. The expanded operation seeks to dismantle what authorities believe is a larger distribution network operating in the region.
According to Gudivada Deputy Superintendent of Police P. Srinivas, the injured peddler identified as Avinad continues to be under active police scrutiny. Despite his injuries, the suspect remains a key person of interest in the investigation, the official stated during a briefing on the ongoing case.
Police have indicated that the investigation has revealed connections to multiple individuals allegedly involved in the narcotics operation. Authorities are pursuing several leads as they work to establish the full extent of the network and identify other members involved in the drug trade.
The intensified crackdown is part of broader efforts by local police to curb cannabis trafficking in the region. Officials have urged the public to provide any information regarding suspected drug dealers or illicit narcotics operations to the nearest police station.
