The drive was conducted after the train crossed the Tiruppur railway station. The team found an unclaimed white polythene bag in the S-3 coach beneath seat no. 53. An inquiry was conducted with co-passengers in the coach, but no one claimed ownership of the bag and the team checked the bag and found the banned substance in it, valued at ₹2.53 lakh.
