The Government Railway Police (GRP) nabbed two drug peddlers while they were smuggling 34 kgs of marijuana from Visakhapatnam to Delhi via Hyderabad at Secunderabad railway station on Saturday.

Officials said that the duo, identified as 25-year-old Vikesh and 19-year-old Akash Kumar were carrying the contraband in two luggage trolleys. The drug was estimated to be worth around ₹8.5 lakh. They packed and concealed the drug in two luggage trolleys and boarded the Rajdhani Express to Delhi.
