Villupuram police seized 17 kg of ganja and arrested four individuals involved in its transportation and sale. The operation took place near the Tindivanam bypass road following a tip-off regarding illegal drug activity.
The arrested individuals have been identified as M. Yuvaraj (28) from Chennai, S. Karthik (26) from Villupuram, V. Arumugam (32) from Cuddalore, and R. Selvam (45) from Villupuram. Yuvaraj and Karthik were apprehended while transporting the ganja in a car. Subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Arumugam and Selvam, who were allegedly involved in coordinating the supply and distribution network.
Police confiscated the 17 kg of ganja, along with the car used for transportation, and mobile phones used for communication related to the drug trade. The ganja was reportedly sourced from Andhra Pradesh and intended for distribution in Villupuram and surrounding areas.
The Villupuram police are investigating the source of the ganja and potential links to a larger drug trafficking network. They are also working to identify any other individuals involved in the operation. The seized ganja and the vehicle have been taken into police custody.
This seizure represents a significant effort by the Villupuram police to curb the illegal drug trade in the region. Authorities are continuing their efforts to identify and apprehend individuals involved in the production, transportation, and sale of illicit substances. The arrested individuals have been remanded in judicial custody. Further investigation is underway to determine the extent of their involvement and any potential connections to organized crime.
