In a significant development, two migrant workers from West Bengal were apprehended for their alleged involvement in a recent ganja seizure at a government polytechnic hostel in Kalamassery, Kerala. The individuals, identified as Sohail Shaik, 24, and Aehinta Mandal, 26, were working in the region as construction laborers.

Authorities claim the pair provided the banned substance to former polytechnic students who were previously detained in connection with the same case. Law enforcement officials have been monitoring the suspects' mobile phones following reports of drug distribution among students.
