A special squad of the Excise department on Monday seized nearly 200 grams of cannabis beverage mixed with milk shake from a juice parlour on the Gujarati Street in the city.
The suspected drink that was prepared using hemp seed oil and other intoxicating ingredients was recovered during a flash inspection led by Excise Inspector V.R. Gireesh.
Excise department sources said the shop was suspected of serving the cannabis-infused beverage to students addicted to drugs. There were also suspected promotional campaigns on social media to attract more buyers, they added.
