MARGAO
Has the ongoing gang war in the commercial capital helped the Margao police to effect a major haul of ganja atop Moti Dongor and nab one of the three accused involved in the drug peddling.
Inquiries by The Goan has revealed that the running battle between gangsters belonging to two gangs operating in the city, who have been at loggerheads with each other in recent times, helped the men-in-uniform lay their hands on the drug peddler and register a major haul of drugs in the city.
Inquiries have revealed that before the Margao police could descend atop the Moti Dongor, the drug peddler was already under the scanner of one of the gangs as even two other accused made good their escape. Sources in the know said the arrested accused and two others were engaged in packing the ganja in small sachets before its distribution to the buyers in the city and outside. Given that the activity of this gang was already under the scanner of the rival gang, the accused was nabbed when the alleged activity of packing the ganja in small sachets was going on atop the hillock.
Sources in the know do not rule out the possibility of a scuffle between the arrested accused and the persons, who helped the police effect the seizure.
The Margao police, while briefing the media on the seizure of the ganja, had said the police had acted on a tip off from an anonymous source, with sources in the know saying that the information must have come from a member of a rival gang.
Since this is the second seizure of ganja from Moti Dongor, the police say they are on the look out for two others persons, who have been named by the arrested accused in the case.
