Near Pollachi, Anaimalai police detained a father and son early yesterday for trafficking ganja and chocolates infused with drugs, using a two-wheeler.


Coimbatore: In a recent vehicle inspection conducted by the Anaimalai police near Pollachi, a father and son duo was found smuggling narcotics, including a significant amount of ganja and drug-infused chocolates. The arrests took place around midnight in the Thathur area near Pollachi.



During the scrutiny, officers discovered the narcotics in a bag on their two-wheeler. Upon further investigation, Mohammad Sahabuddin and his son Arif Raja confessed to transporting 8.4 kilograms of ganja and 3.1 kilograms of drug-infused chocolates. They admitted to sourcing these drugs from Bihar and were heading to Kangikode, Kerala for sales purposes.
