Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The page gives no separate date for the patrol; 7 November 2026 is the publication date and is used as the incident date.
The brief's heading says four people were arrested for selling ganja, but the text describes only one man, so one arrest is counted and the heading is treated as an error.
No police station is named for the patrol, so the investigating unit is unknown.
No charges, court production or court outcome beyond being lodged in jail was reported.
Searching in Tamil and English found no second, independently opened account of this catch.
The 500-gram figure is given only by this single Dinamalar account.
The page's listed images are unrelated sidebar thumbnails, so no photo of this seizure is included.
