In a significant drug bust, police apprehended three women at Kollam railway station for possessing 24 kilograms of marijuana. The women, aged between 19 and 23, were detained as they disembarked from the Mysore-Kochuveli train.
Police officers on routine patrol became suspicious of the women's demeanor, which led to the search of their belongings and the discovery of the contraband. The travelers had boarded the train from Erode, but their journey was cut short at Kollam when law enforcement intervened.
A case has been filed under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Authorities are delving deeper into the case to uncover additional individuals who might be involved and to trace the origins of the marijuana shipment, according to a spokesperson for Kollam RPS.
