Coimbatore: The Sulur police on Sunday arrested a guest worker with 1.25kg of ganja.
The arrested person was identified as R Dambura Ravath, 22, a native of Odisha, who was working in a spinning mill at Kannampalayam near Sulur.
Sulur sub-inspector N Jaganath, who received a tip-off, rushed to the Sulur boat house parking slot to pick up Ravath and recovered the contraband from his bag. Police grilled him at the Sulur police station. Ravath told the officers that he had received the ganja from another guest worker and was planning to sell it to other guest workers. He was booked under Section 8 (c) read with 20 (b) (ii) (A) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.
The Sulur police had arrested Ravath last November for possession of 1kg ganja. He had come out of the Coimbatore Central Jail on bail a few weeks ago, police sources said.
