Ahmedabad: The special ope- rations group (SOG) of city cri- me branch on Thursday seized 6.960kg of ganja from Pratiksha Vijay Manchrekar, 37, at her pa- rent’s house in Nav Kholi, Ku- bernagar. SOG sources said during her interrogation, Manchrekar sa- id her husband Vijay had bro- ught the contraband and given it to her to sell it. “We arrested Pratiksha and are hunting for her husband, Vijay Manchrekar,” said an SOG official.According to the complaint lodged by SOG, when they were on patrol at Kalyan Chowki near Memco Crossro- ads at about 1.10pm, they got a tip off that a woman in a green Punjabi suit was selling ganja near her house. The SOG team and women cops proceeded towards Kuber- nagar and identified her. “On checking the gutka bag in her hand we found something that smelled like ganja. Scienti- fic officer R B Mazmudar of Fo- rensic Science Laboratory was called in. He confirmed that the material was ganja,” said an SOG official. SOG sources said that they are hunting for Pratiksha’s husband Vijay to know where he brought the contraband from. “We arrested Pratiksha un- der the NDPS Act,” a senior SOG official said.
