Continuing the crackdown on the illegal sale of drugs, the Coimbatore District Police surged into action against ganja dealers. In a recent drive led by District Superintendent of Police, Badrin Narayanan, a tip-off regarding the sale of ganja chocolates in the Karumathampatti area prompted an immediate investigation.

On June 8, 2024, in response to the information, the Prohibition Enforcement Wing personnel conducted a raid near Somanur. During this operation, Abishek Dora (30) and Abishith Dora (27), both hailing from Odisha, were found selling ganja-infused chocolates.
