In a major drug bust, the Customs Department at Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) on Saturday seized marijuana worth approximately Rs 3 crore. The haul included 3.2 kilograms of marijuana, which was reportedly being smuggled into Bhubaneswar from Bangkok.

Authorities arrested a youth from Kerala in connection with the case. The suspect was reportedly transporting the consignment via air cargo when the Customs officials intercepted the shipment.

According to officials, the seizure is part of the department’s intensified efforts to curb the illegal inflow of narcotics into the country. The marijuana was carefully concealed, but routine checks by the Customs team led to its discovery.
