A 57-year-old man, hailing from Kerala, was arrested in Pollachi near here for trying to allegedly smuggle ganja into the state, police said. Based on a tip-off, a Kerala State-owned transport bus proceeding to Palakkad was stopped at a check-post and a bag belonging to M Abdul Hakkim, a native of Malappuram district of Kerala, was searched, the police said.
The search yielded eight kg of the narcotic, they said. The accused confessed that the contraband was sourced from a person at Usilampatti in Madurai and being taken to Kerala, they said.
Hakkim was produced before a city court and remanded in judicial custody, they added..
