In a decisive operation on Monday, Vellimedupettai police successfully apprehended six individuals and confiscated a substantial five kilograms of ganja.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Kaviarasu (23), Sathish (20), Ragupathy (19), Kubendhiran (19), Dravid (19), and Venkatesan (20).
The arrests occurred during a routine vehicle check at the Vellimedupettai bus stop. When officers intercepted the group, their evasive answers prompted a thorough search, which quickly led to the discovery of the five kilograms of illicit substance.
Beyond the illegal drugs, authorities also seized a two-wheeler and four mobile phones believed to be connected to the operation. Following their arrest, all six suspects were presented before a local court and subsequently remanded into judicial custody.
