The Thiruvananthapuram Rural police unearthed a massive cache of 210 kg of ganja from a house that served as an illegal godown for narcotics substances in Venjaramoodu on Saturday. One person has been arrested in the case.
The Venjaramoodu police identified the accused as Kishore, 39, of Konniyoor in Poovachal. He was caught by the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) of the Thiruvananthapuram Rural police during the raid conducted in a house rented by him in Thandrampoika during the wee hours of the day. Notably, the house is located close to the Venjaramoodu police station.
According to the police, Kishore used the house for storing and supplying the contraband. The law enforcers were tipped off by local residents who sensed something amiss. Several drug abusers and peddlers used to frequent the house especially during the late hours. Kishore has been placed under surveillance for nearly a week.
