Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Chandana Deepti said that a majority of the ganja was seized in 2024 and 2025, while the remaining before 2024. She further stated that the railway police destroyed ganja in two furnaces at Romo Industries, which is an expert in carrying out such procedures in a safe manner.

The substance was seized from several passengers who were caught smuggling it by travelling in trains from Odisha to Secunderabad. Fearing that the police would catch them, a few smugglers abandoned the substance on platforms and escaped, prompting the police to seize it and hand it over to the court.
