Kolkata , 02 November (H.S.) : Acting on credible intelligence, the Belur Government Railway Police (GRP) under the Howrah GRP District arrested three women on Sunday and seized approximately 38 kilograms of suspected ganja from their possession at the Dankuni railway station. The contraband was allegedly being transported for clandestine delivery and local sale in the area.

According to GRP officials, the arrests were made following a targeted operation based on specific inputs regarding drug smuggling on Train No. 12504 DN SMVT Bangalore Humsafar Express. The police intercepted the three female passengers upon their arrival. The accused have been identified as Ritu Sarkar (35), Unnati Roy (34), and Champa Bhowmik Das (33).
