On receiving information about smuggling of drugs on Tuesday morning, a special team of police from Sankar Nagar police station began surveillance on Anakaputhur Service Road, near Bharath Petrol bunk, and nabbed two men, who have been identified as Tejas Bapu Waghmare, 28, of Solapur, and Sagar Sahadev Erande, 31, of Beed in Maharashtra.

The police seized 300 kg of ganja and a mini lorry from them. They were then arrested.
