After a hot pursuit, the Virudhunagar district police arrested four persons from Kerala and seized 120 kg of ganja that was being smuggled to Thiruvananthapuram from Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.
Acting on a tip-off that ganja was being smuggled in two cars, a team of police, led by Virudhunagar Superintendent of Police R. Srinivasa Perumal, kept a watch on Madurai-Tirunelveli highway. The first car would pass through important junctions and alert their partners travelling in another car in which ganja was being transported. The first car, after seeing the police near Sattur, made a U-turn. The police tracked the vehicle with the help of mobile phone signal and found it parked near a tea stall.
A team of police, led by Additional Superintendent of Police, Ashokan, and Deputy Superintendent of Police (Virudhunagar), Pavithra, nabbed two persons who were identified as Sankar Ram, 43, and Roshan, 27.
