Hyderabad man arrested for selling marijuana grown in his in-house nursery
Nearly nine kg of marijuana along with 40 pots containing its plants were seized from the three-bedroom apartment of the man-Syed Shahed Hussain-a resident of Manikonda-a commercial hub.
According to reports, the 33-year-old man was arrested on Sunday while he was selling marijuana to his customers.
It has been learnt that Hussain cultivated marijuana plants in his apartment to avoid being spotted by police as getting the contraband from far-off places involves a high amount of risk.
He started cultivating the cannabis on the advice of his US-based friends and learnt the process by watching videos on internet, NDTV quoted a senior police official as saying.
"About three months ago he thought of growing cannabis indoors, so he contacted one of his friend by name Garith Christopher from the US, and as advised by him he gone through some videos and learnt the art of cultivating ganja in indoors. Then he locally purchased all the requirements and started cultivating Ganja in his house on trail basis,'' the police officer said.
Hussain procured all the equipment for growing marijuana indoors.
