The accused has been identified as Irshad alias Irsha, a resident of Hilari Nagar in Mukkacheri, Ullal.

Acting on credible intelligence, a joint police team led by the Panambur ACP squad along with personnel from Kavoor police station conducted a swift raid at the location and apprehended the accused on the spot.

During the operation, police recovered approximately 3 kg 138 grams of ganja, estimated to be worth Rs 1,56,000 in the illegal market. Officers also seized a mobile phone and a scooter allegedly used for transporting the narcotic substance.
