A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed to probe the seizure of 31 kgs of ganja smuggled in as a parcel through a courier company in Perumbavoor on Monday.
District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural) K. Karthik formed the SIT headed by the Perumbavoor DySP. Two persons were also arrested in the joint raid conducted by the rural police and the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force.
