The arrested duo have been identified as Sameer Digal and Rajan Digal.
Soon after the Sorada excise department got a tip-off on ganja being transported in a Renault car from Baliguda to Bhubaneswar this morning, a team of excise officials, led by Inspector Asraful and Sub-Inspector Niranjan Rout, first put up a blockade at the Sorada Forest Gate to intercept the vehicle. However, the car carrying ganja managed to give them a slip and passed through the gate breaking the blockade. It was, however, later caught by the excise officials at Nuagaon Forest Gate where it again put up a blockade by keeping boulders on the road. Packs of ganja were seized from the car and two on board were taken into custody.
The seized gaja would cost around Rs 2 lac, informed the excise department sources.
