Gang’s network, supply chain, modus operandi The main kingpin of the team of ganja smugglers is Bhagwat Sahu who has been involved in the business of illegal ganja purchase and sale for the last several years. In the beginning, he used to buy 4-5 kg ​​of ganja from a small supplier in Odisha and sell it in Chhattisgarh. Later, after coming in contact with a big ganja supplier Vyoma alias Vyomkesh from Odisha, he used to buy ganja in large quantities, transfer it to his vehicle at a secluded place and dump it in the house of an accused of his team. From there, he used to take out 15-20 kg of ganja initially and supply it to different states. Then he started supplying 1 quintal-2 quintals of ganja as per demand. Santram and Bhagwat used to buy ganja from the Odisha party and come half way clearing the road with their companions, so that they are not caught.
