"On a tip-off, we raided the house of one Radhakrishna and seized 20 kgs of ganja worth about Rs 2.5 lakh from him. The old man had been peddling this narcotic drug for sometime and used to sell it to neighbours and whoever visited his house," Joint Commissioner Erappa said.
Radhakrishnan was arrested after the search last night.
He would be produced in a sessions court today, he said.
