A farmer was arrested for allegedly cultivating Marijuana on his farm in Bidar district, police said on Wednesday.

After a tip-off from its sources about the 47-year-old Shivaji Rathod cultivating Marijuana on his farm in Vijayanagara Thanda, a police team conducted raids and seized 179 Marijuana plants weighing 63.86 kg and valued at Rs 25.54 lakh earlier this week, a senior police officer said.

”We have registered a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and arrested the farmer — who cultivated Marijuana along with Sorghum and cotton plants on his farm — in connection with the case. Further investigation is underway,” he said.
