The Ichchapuram town police in Srikakulam district successfully seized 72 kg of ganja, which was being trafficked from Orissa to Andhra Pradesh. Four accused and two railway policemen were held in the case, police said.

The individuals identified as Uttar Gowda, Usha Bhuyan, Ranju Gumango, and Pinky were apprehended during a raid at Ichapuram railway station.
