Pudukottai Town police on Wednesday arrested six alleged ganja sellers, including a candidate of Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), contesting from Ward 23 of Pudukottai municipality and confiscated little over 8.5 kg of ganja.
Four cell phones and a couple of two-wheelers were also seized. Police identified the arrested NTK candidate as S. Abdul Majeed, 33, of Periyar Nagar in Pudukottai Town. Sources said the police personnel conducted checks in a lodge in Pudukottai town recently and found a youth filling ganja in a cigarette and smoking. When they questioned him, he purportedly told them that he had bought it from Abdul Majeed.
