According to the police, Chauhan was procuring marijuana from local drug dealers in Odisha and smuggling it to Solapur in Maharashtra via Hyderabad with the help of his accomplices. They had loaded 350 kg of marijuana in two cars at a remote place in the forest area of Sherpally agency in Odisha on Monday and left for Solapur. Due to the strict vigil on drug smuggling across Telangana, they avoided toll roads and entered the city from near Shamirpet.
