Drug peddler held near Katpadi railway station
A case was registered and he was lodged at Central Prison in Vellore
A 30-year-old individual, identified as B. Karthik from the Theni district, has been apprehended by the Katpadi police for possessing 10 kg of ganja. The arrest occurred on Wednesday when a special police team, operating on the orders of Superintendent of Police N.U. Sivaraman, intercepted Karthik while he was wandering around the area near the Katpadi railway station with a bag.
Upon searching the bag, the police discovered the contraband. Karthik subsequently informed the police that he had acquired the ganja from drug peddlers in Andhra Pradesh with the intention of selling it in the retail market in the Theni district. As a result, a case has been filed against him, and he has been taken into custody at the Central Prison in Vellore. An ongoing investigation is being conducted to gather further details.
