The Narcotics Control Bureau foiled an attempt to smuggle 661.5 kg of cannabis (310 bundles) to Sri Lanka via Vedaranyam in Nagapattinam district. The consignment was purchased at Anakapalli in Andhra Pradesh, transported through Chennai and Viralimalai (Pudukkottai) to Vedaranyam. Five suspects were arrested — three from Vedaranyam (M. Selvaraj, 54; S. Aiyyappan, 35; R. Paramanantham, 35) and two from Thiruvottiyur, Chennai (S. Ramanan, 40; G. Thavamani, 37). A truck and two SUVs were seized. The NCB had been tracking the consignment from Andhra Pradesh. The report noted smuggling ganja to Sri Lanka via Vedaranyam was "not uncommon," with past seizures at coastal villages Arukatuthurai, Manian Theevu, and Kodiyakarai, where cannabis was loaded into fibreglass fishing boats for the sea crossing.
