Coimbatore: In a sweeping operation against drug offenders, Coimbatore District Superintendent of Police Karthikeyan initiated a district-wide Ganja raid that lasted for two days. The operation targeted known offenders and resulted in significant seizures of illegal substances.

Acting on SP Karthikeyan's orders, 86 special teams were formed to monitor approximately 2,000 offenders involved in Ganja-related cases over the past 15 years. These teams conducted intensive searches across all police station jurisdictions in the district.



The operation led to the registration of cases against 10 Ganja offenders and the seizure of about 10 kilograms of Ganja. Additionally, the district-wide search uncovered nearly 1,000 kilograms of tobacco products that were illegally stored for sale.
