NCB busts gang cultivating Cannabis in flat

Thane (Maharashtra), April 16: In another major achievement, the Narcotic Control Bureau (NCB) bust a gang cultivating Cannabis inside a 2-BHK flat in Dombivali town in the district, a top official said here on Friday.
“It’s a big case… We are investigating the entire network that was involved in cultivation of Cannabis by using the hydroponic technique,” NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede said of the development with international ramifications.
Following an intel-tipoff, the NCB swooped on a flat in Pallava City, a private housing township and were shocked to find Cannabis being cultivated there.
Two persons – Javed J. Sheikh and Arshad Khatri – were grilled by the NCB and the agency recovered the entire cultivation setup including PH regulators, plant nutrients, water-pumps, air-circulation systems, etc., said Wankhede. (PTI)
