Accident Caught On Cam: Ganja Peddlers Ran Over Cops At Toll Plaza In Kakinada
In a shocking incident, a car allegedly smuggling ganja ran over two police constables at the Krishnavaram toll plaza in Kirlampudi mandal, Kakinada district, Andhra Pradesh, during the early hours of Thursday. The injured constables were immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Incident Details

The car, traveling from Visakhapatnam to Rajamahendravaram, was stopped by police personnel stationed at the toll plaza for routine checks. While the driver initially pretended to cooperate, he suddenly accelerated, hitting constables Lovaraju from Kirlampudi Police Station and another officer standing in front of the vehicle.
Alert police teams chased the fleeing vehicle. The driver abandoned the car at Rajanagaram and escaped, but police later apprehended the suspect in Jeelugumilli, West Godavari district. Upon inspection, the abandoned car, bearing Uttar Pradesh registration plates, was found to contain ganja.
Ganja Cultivation and Smuggling in the Region
Ganja cultivation is prevalent in certain pockets of Visakhapatnam, other districts in north coastal Andhra Pradesh, and neighboring Odisha. Over recent months, numerous smugglers have been apprehended in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana while attempting to transport ganja to other states, according to a report in The Times of India.
The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of Andhra Pradesh has intensified efforts to combat ganja smuggling. Recently, the ANTF held a coordination meeting with Odisha police to devise strategies for curbing narcotics smuggling and eradicating ganja cultivation at its source.
