The Visakhapatnam Police in India has arrested Amazon workers for allegedly smuggling illegal drugs. The police have apparently recovered 48 kilograms of marijuana after a recent investigation, which follows another case of recovery of prohibited substances in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh.

According to a Gadgets360 report, Police forms from Bhind had received a tip, which led to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Visakhapatnam finding two Amazon delivery workers with marijuana. Furthermore, the authorities even recovered Amazon’s packaging material that was reportedly used to illegally smuggle the drugs. Notably, the recent arrives just after the Bhind Police charging executives of the e-commerce giant under narcotics laws as the marijuana was smuggled through the online e-retail platform.

Just last week, the Visakhapatnam Police had arrested Amazon associate in the city along with two delivery workers. The police had found the accused in possession of the drug along with an electronic weighing machine as well. These workers were carrying two gunny bags that were filled with 24 kilograms of Marijuana each, as per the FIR (first information report). Interestingly, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has demanded that the government suspend Amazon’s operations in the country and to arrest its officials for allowing the trade of illegal substances.

CAIT National President BC Bhartia and Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal even went as far as to call Amazon a “Ganja company” (‘Ganja’ being the Hindi name for Marijuana). It remains to be seen how the tech giant responds to all of these statements and what actions it takes to rectify the situation, so stay tuned for more updates.
