The Anantapur police arrested three persons and seized 3.5 kg of ganja at the Mirchi yard on the Gooty Road on November 24 (Friday).
Superintendent of Police K.K.N. Anburajan told the media that a woman, identified as Shaik Sonu, hailing from Anantapur town, was the kingpin of the racket. She would procure ganja from Tuni in Kakinada district and supply it to several agents in Anantapur district, besides arranging door delivery of the contraband in smaller quantities to the customers through online payments.
The SP said that the woman, whose husband died four years ago, joined the illegal trade after being encouraged by her brother Shaik Baba Fakruddin, who was convicted in ganja cases earlier.
