SG Palya police have recovered 10kg ganja and 18 LSD strips worth Rs 6.5 lakh from the duo.

Neelakanthan arrived in the city last year and has been living at a paying guest accommodation near his college. He initially got in touch with Junaid to procure ganja for himself, but later started selling LSD and ganja, among other banned substances, together.
