The Perumbavoor police have arrested Rajesh Deegal (23), a native of Ganjam, Odisha, for drug trafficking after seizing 2 kilograms of ganja from his possession.
According to authorities, Rajesh had traveled from Odisha by train and was caught while attempting to hand over the narcotics near the Perumbavoor bus stand. The ganja, reportedly purchased for Rs3,000 in Odisha, was intended for local sale at Rs20,000—a substantial markup.
The arrest was made following a tip-off and swift police action. The contraband was seized on the spot, and a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Police said this case may be part of a larger trafficking network, and further investigations are ongoing to identify accomplices and suppliers.
