How much poppy straw (doda chura) was seized by the Rajasthan unit of the Central Bureau of Narcotics in its recent operations?
- A.3,937 kg
- B.2,292 kg
- C.1,037 kg
- D.340 kg
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 3,937 kg. This is the total quantity of poppy straw, known regionally as doda chura, recovered by the Rajasthan unit across the whole set of operations, alongside 9.6 kg of opium and 1.9 kg of hydroponic cannabis. Option B is wrong because 2,292 kg is only a rounded form of the single largest consignment, the 2,292.460 kg found in 118 bags inside a truck that was hiding the load beneath cement sacks; it is one case, not the total. Option C is wrong because 1,037 kg was recovered in 56 bags from a premises where a Fortuner car stood loaded with contraband, which is again a single case. Option D is wrong because 340 kg was the quantity taken from a Tata Harrier car in 23 bags. Adding these and the other smaller recoveries, such as 156.7 kg from a Honda Amaze and 110 kg from a Creta, gives the announced total of 3,937 kg.
