One car to check for cops, one to carry ganja; NCB traps both
Chennai: They split into two teams. One drove ahead in an SUV to check for police checks. The other followed hours later in a sedan, boot packed with 107 kg of ganja. However, the Narcotics Control Bureau laid traps at both ends—Chennai's outskirts near Red Hills at night, and Athur the next morning—and caught all five gangsters within 12 hours. The case began with a tip-off received by NCB intelligence officer Jitendra Pratap Singh on January 7, 2019. Acting swiftly, a team intercepted the SUV near Karanodai toll plaza. Although no contraband was found in the vehicle, its three occupants—Eswaran, Jayachandran, and Jayaprabhu—admitted they were escorting another vehicle loaded with ganja. They were taken to the NCB office, and their statements led officials to the second car—a sedan—expected to cross Athur toll plaza the next morning. At 10.10am on Jan 8, the sedan was stopped. Inside the boot were 50 yellow polythene packets. Field tests confirmed they contained ganja. The total seizure weighed 107 kg. The other two accused—Surulivel and Ramesh—were arrested on the spot. All five were charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act for trafficking commercial quantity ganja. On May 29, Principal Special Judge S Hermies sentenced all five men to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment each and fined them 2 lakh apiece. The court ruled that both vehicles were part of a coordinated smuggling plan—one car testing the road, the other carrying the load. The court overruled minor procedural lapses, stating they did not affect the evidentiary chain. Both vehicles, five mobile phones, 21,100 in cash, and the sealed contraband were ordered confiscated. The seized ganja will be destroyed after the appeal period ends.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He warned of disciplinary action against those officials who would fail to take time-bound action and stressed on making the image of administration better. In the meeting, he directed to issue show cause notices to seven departments for careless attitude towards public complaints. The seven departments are Jalkal department, municipal corporation, SDM (Sadar) Kanpur Nagar, PWD, tehsildar Sadar Kanpur Nagar, district inspector of schools and assistant labour commissioner Kanpur Nagar. In a review meeting held at the collectorate auditorium, Singh said that quality disposal of IGRS (Integrated Grievance Redressal System) references was the top priority of the government. The DM stated that in the evaluation report submitted by the government on June 3, the percentage of negative feedback received in relation to the references resolved by various departments was found to be of great concern. Notably, in some departments this negative feedback has been recorded as high as 83 per cent, which reflects serious laxity in departmental functioning and blatant disregard for citizens' expectations. Terming this situation as extremely regrettable Singh said that it was indicative of clear indifference in discharging duty. He said this shows that the complaints have not been resolved seriously and in a qualitative manner by the officers/employees concerned or their supervisory responsibilities have not been discharged efficiently. As a result of this serious lapse, the ranking of the district has been adversely affected, which has also caused a serious blow to the administrative image of the district. Taking cognisance in the matter, the district magistrate had directed all the officers concerned to determine the responsibility of their subordinate officers/employees and ensure necessary and strict action as per
