Tiwari wearing a helmet rode a motorcycle with a few plainclothes policemen to different locations and caught five persons engaged in illegal trade in ganja.
The SP first stopped near a physically handicapped person riding a tricycle and acting as a decoy customer asked for ganja. Unaware of his true identity the man delivered him ganja for a handsome cash.
Soon, he was arrested and a huge quantity of ganja packed in small packets seized from him, the SP told PTI.
On the basis of information provided by him, a few other hideouts of illegal trade in contraband was raided and four others were arrested, Tiwari added.
In the wake of total prohibition, illegal trade in contrabands has increased in the state.
