LUCKNOW, Feb. 14 -- The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Saturday seized 370 kg of ganja worth about Rs.92.5 lakh in the illicit market and arrested four persons allegedly linked to an organised narcotics syndicate operating between Odisha and Uttar Pradesh, officials said.

Officers also intercepted an escort vehicle without a number plate allegedly used to scout police checkpoints and guide the truck to unloading points.

Officials said the design allowed smugglers to transport five to eight quintals per trip without arousing suspicion....
