Coimbatore: In a follow-up to a recent ganja case involving college students, the Valparai police have arrested two more individuals and seized 2.3 kg of ganja from their possession.

On October 12, 2024, four individuals, including college students, were arrested near the new bus stand in Valparai for ganja-related offenses. Following this incident, the police apprehended Subakarthi, 20, a resident of Nallakathu Estate in Valparai, who had been evading arrest.

Based on information provided by Subakarthi, a team led by Valparai Inspector Anandakumar, along with Sub-Inspector Palani and constables Manikandan and others, traveled to Perundurai in Erode district. There, they arrested Bisantha Tanda, 30, a native of Odisha currently residing in Perundurai.
