Assam Police Leaves A Message For A HUGE Bust Of Weed
New Delhi: Assam police on Tuesday busted a massive stash of marijuana in Assam's Dhubri. But what created the news wasn't the huge weed bust but the cheeky caption that was used.
"Anyone lost a huge (590 kgs) amount of Cannabis/Ganja and a truck in and around Chagolia Checkpoint last night? Don't panic, we found it. Please get in touch with @Dhubri_Police They will help you out, for sure ;) Great job Team Dhubri," Assam police tweeted.
