Udupi, Sep 13: As many as 11 persons have been arrested for consumption and peddling of ganja from across Udupi district.

In Manipal, Maruk Abbas (23), Shivaprasad Keshav (29) and Akshay Bhat were arrested on the suspicion of consuming ganja. They were subjected to medical test and the results confirmed the same.

Russel Vian D'Souza (25) was arrested from near Shimbra bridge in Manipal while he was consuming ganja. A person named Siddharth Mida was caught while trying to sell ganja under Manipal police station limits and 350 gram ganja was confiscated from him.

Three persons were arrested from Padubidri toll gate during inspection of vehicles. The Padubidri police arrested Akshith Kumar, Pavan Kumar K and Yajnesh K for consumption ganja. The three were travelling towards Mangaluru in a car.

Abhishek (24) and Sunil (23) were arrested from Hemmady junction, Kundapur taluk for consumption of ganja. Mohammed Majamil (26) was arrested from Gopadi village of Kundapur talluk for the same.

The arrests come in the wake of an intensified action against drug menace all over the state, especially since the sensational Sandalwood drugs racket was busted. In recent days, the Udupi police department has been taking strict action against ganja consumption and peddling.

    police may get a good catch if they haul up "event managers" who organise "parties".... Prithvi Shetty and Rahul Shetty both said to be "Event Managers"...

    Intention is appreciable. However this appears to be a case of "Me Too" band wagon. Because there is some action in Mumbai and in Bangalore, the police from Dakshina Kannad also seem to show some interest in catching the culprits. Hope they will keep this going even after the present wave ends.

    Catching small fish is of no use. Go after the big fishes.

    Drugs abuse is rampant across our nation... The state knew about this pandemic disease, yet deliberately chose to dig there heads in the sand, pretending that this horrendous addiction doesn't exit !!! There were enlightened political netas, who were delightful with the generation of revenue which they used to store up massive wealth and fight elections !!! The Sushant and Divya murders, exploded the close nexus with politicians, Underworld and Film/TV fraternities !!! Desperate attempts are made to coverup this scandalous revelations !!!!

    There are 100 House parties happening secretly to consume banned substance in and around Mangalore. Raid them coz most of the parents dont know whats happening to their daughters coz they made believe its just a birthday party and not a drug party

    instead of just saying 100 parties, tell name either to police or here, so police may take action.

    or complaint with police.
