    Andhra: 2 held for smuggling 130-kg marijuana in 'Pushpa' style
    The accused, according to officials, had stowed the cannabis in the upper section of the Bolera truck by erecting a customized shelf similar to the smuggling shown in Pushpa: The Rise

    Police arrested two persons carrying 130 kilograms of marijuana in the Alluri Sitharamaraju district of Andhra Pradesh, India Today reported. The suspects were reportedly motivated by the 2021 Telugu film Pushpa: The Rise as the gang hid the cannabis beneath the roof of a Bolero truck similar to the movie. However, the Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) in Kinchamanda village, Dumbriguda Mandal found it.

    What did officials say?

    The accused, according to officials, had stowed the cannabis in the upper section of the Bolera truck by erecting a customized shelf similar to the smuggling shown in the movie. They said the accused were attempting to smuggle the narcotic across the state line. However, the SEB team halted their car and found 130 kg of marijuana hidden inside.
