The Government Railway Police (GRP) has seized a consignment of 16 kg of ganja on an express train at Katpadi railway station in Vellore on Wednesday.
The police said that as part of a special drive against illegal transportation of narcotic substances and inflammable articles on trains under Operation Narcos, a team of GRP police personnel was conducting surprise checks at the railway station.
The team found an abandoned bag with bundles of ganja in the luggage carrier of the general compartment on an express train bound to Bengaluru.
Initial inquiry revealed that two commuters alighted the express train and fled the spot after they noticed a police team checking the train. A case has been registered by GRP Katpadi. The police also analysed CCTV camera footage to nab the gang that was involved in ganja smuggling. A probe is under way.
