    I see a lot of hate towards malayalis in the comments. Let's not be blinded by the fact that it's only the malayalis that got caught. There are drug peddlers from karwar and chikmangalur. Just because they dint get caught, you want to only hate on the ones that did and blame them for everything? Open your eyes before you decide to be a keyboard warrior from home. Before you start blaming the malayalis for everything, let's all take a good look at ourselves before pointing fingers and accusing others.
    One smart chap in the comment section mentioned he wants to execute the ones caught for ganja? Let's all take a minute to thank the lord above that he is not the prime minister of capable of making such idiotic decisions. Hey buddy, you do realize this drug is legalised in many countries, yes? How is it a crime that's deemed worthy of a death penalty if it was allowed in other countries? And let me remind you, its not just one or two countries, but rather, its legal in atleast 26 different countries.

    We should legalize ganja.
    Ganja was legal in India until British criminalized in 1838.
    Now Ganja is legal in many states in USA, Canada, Netherlands and many other countries.

    Instead we should ban Cigarettes, which is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide.

    Very very bad state of these young boys. (students). Their faces reveal how deep they are in drug addiction.
    All due to bad friend circle and lack of control by the parents.
    Now to reform them it is a difficult task but not impossible.

    It is important that the whole network be demolished.Sniffer dogs are good at detecting drugs.They should be deployed at highway entry points,rail and bus stations airports educational institutions, tuition classes and courier offices, where raids have to be conducted off and on .Users of vehicles without number plates should be thoroughly interrogated. Those caught should be questioned about the suppliers and masterminds.

    Selling of drugs like selling vegitable and fruits in mangalore and surrounding areas, some place with support of big peoples . Police , college management must take strict action . Enter of politics in education field is the main reason for all crimes. Parents must check movement of their children. Specially hostel , PG houses must be checked periiodically by police

    Also arrest the parents who are giving them so much pocket money (I'm sure ganja may not be coming cheap) and not asking account for it.
