Patna: Police Samastipur has begun to investigate moving and non-moving properties collected by two interstate marijuana smugglers after confiscation of RS 39.66 lakh cash from their residence.

The two brothers and sisters – Arvind Mahto and Devendra Mahto – have run since Sunday when the police raided their homes in Sudamapur in Samastipur and recover cash and 35kg of marijuana.
Samastipur SP Manavjit Singh Dhillon said they had to know about four bank accounts from the two brothers.
“The police are in the process of writing to the Bank’s authority to freeze these accounts,” he said, adding to the two brothers may have a link with suppliers of marijuana from Northeastern States.
