In Cuddalore, police arrested a young man after officers found that he had been trying to sell ganja, the local term for cannabis.[1] The arrest was made during a patrol by Devanampattinam Sub-Inspector Murugan and other police officers on 12 November 2026 in the Cuddalore area.[1] During that patrol, the officers stopped a young man who was standing near the burial ground at Tsunami Nagar and took him for a search.[1] The search showed that he was carrying ganja, which the officers found in his possession and seized on the spot.[1]
Questioning after the seizure identified the young man as Akash, aged 24, the son of Anandan, who is from Devanampattinam.[1] That questioning also established that Akash had been trying to sell the ganja that officers had just seized from him.[1] Following the questioning, police registered a criminal case against Akash and arrested him in connection with the attempted sale.[1]
