GRP seize 25 kg of ganja at Jolarpet railway station
The police were analysing CCTV camera footage to nab the suspects
On Sunday, the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Tirupattur made a significant drug bust at Jolarpet railway station. As part of Operation Narcos, a special campaign against the illegal transport of narcotics and flammable materials on trains, a GRP team was performing routine checks on board an express train.
During the inspection, the police discovered two discarded tourist bags in the general compartment of the train, containing 25 kg of ganja. The initial investigation revealed that three individuals alighted from the train and swiftly fled the scene once they noticed the police team in action.
The GRP Jolarpet station has registered a case against the three suspects. The police are now meticulously examining CCTV footage to identify and apprehend the individuals involved in the illicit drug transportation.
