Hyderabad: A car that was used to smuggle 300 kg ganja from Andhra Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh met with an accident at Outer Ring Road (ORR) on Monday.

Two people including the driver suffered multiple bleeding injuries, while the remaining two managed to escape from the spot.

Police said speedy Innova with four people on board rammed into the lorry between exit numbers 8 and 7 on the outskirts of Yadagarpally village of Keesaramandal on Monday.

As per the restaurant bills available with the accused, it also seems that they purchased the Ganja in the Araku Agency Area of Andhra Pradesh. They were transporting the drugs to Uttar Pradesh when they met with an accident.
