A Thanjavur police special team intercepted a mini-lorry carrying 250 kg of cannabis concealed inside thermal power plant equipment from Bihar. Fourteen suspects were arrested — 11 from Tamil Nadu, 3 from Andhra Pradesh. The investigation revealed the full supply chain: cannabis sourced at Rs. 3,000/kg in Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), transported into Tamil Nadu via Vellore, and dispatched by boat from coastal points at Vedaranyam (Nagapattinam) and Jambuvanodai (Tiruvarur) to Sri Lanka. Intermediaries paid Rs. 20,000/kg; Sri Lankan retail price was Rs. 50,000/kg. The total seizure including vehicles was valued at Rs. 2 crore.
