Chennai Police Catch Two Youths with Ganja Tied to Their Backs
Chennai police made a significant drug bust on Sunday near Madhavaram. They intercepted a car and arrested two young men for smuggling ganja. The suspects had cleverly tied the drug packets to their backs in an attempt to avoid detection.
Contradictory Statements Lead to Discovery
Police officers stopped the vehicle during a routine check. The two occupants, identified as Vishnu alias Vishnu Maha, aged 21, and Vinyard, aged 19, immediately raised suspicions. When questioned, they gave conflicting and inconsistent statements about their activities.
This inconsistency prompted the police to take further action. Officers asked both suspects to step out of the car for a more thorough inspection.
Detailed Search Reveals Hidden Ganja
During the detailed search, police discovered the hidden contraband. The youths had tied packets of ganja directly to their backs under their clothing. In total, authorities recovered approximately 500 grams of the illegal substance.
The method of concealment was particularly unusual. By attaching the drugs to their bodies, the suspects hoped to bypass standard vehicle searches. However, alert police work foiled their plan.
Ongoing Investigation and Legal Action
Police have registered a case against both individuals under relevant narcotics laws. They are currently investigating the source of the ganja and any possible connections to larger drug networks. The arrested youths remain in custody as the inquiry continues.
This incident highlights the ongoing efforts by Chennai police to combat drug trafficking in the region. Authorities urge citizens to report any suspicious activities related to drug peddling.
