Bengaluru: The Halasuru Gate police have seized over 10 kg of ganja, valued at approximately Rs 10.45 lakh, and arrested one person in connection with the case. Another suspect is absconding.
On September 28, police patrolling KG Road received a tip-off about an Assamese man allegedly selling narcotics near Bannappa Park. Acting swiftly, the officers apprehended Kushala CS, recovering 1.415 kg of ganja, eight plastic zipper pouches, a black bag, and Rs 600 in cash from his possession. The police noted that the pouches were likely used to distribute the drugs in smaller quantities.
Subsequently, the police traced the address of a second suspect, Jayaprakash, and conducted a search at his residence. There, they seized an additional 9.02 kg of ganja, along with packaging materials and a weighing machine.
Kushala is currently in police custody. Authorities are continuing efforts to apprehend Jayaprakash and identify the source of the narcotics.
