A hint of the incident
It was Circle Inspector, I Noushad who got the first hint from a witness. He was further informed that a young man ‘addicted to ganja’ along with few others, planting the saplings to celebrate World Environment Day.
“Let this plant grow here,” the men said before planting the two saplings. They even clicked pictures of it on their phones. However, these ganja lovers have not been taken into custody yet.

“We also got a message that the plants were owned by a resident of Kandachira who was earlier involved in a ganja case,” the Excise release said.
The involved will soon be grabbed, told Assistant Excise Commissioner B Suresh. “We think that the ganja band is trying new methods since there is a lockdown and they cannot travel to other states to smuggle in ganja from there,” the release said.
