Tamil Nadu police have made a list of 20 ganja smugglers from Tamil Nadu who have shifted their area of operation to Andhra Pradesh to act as agents for ganja suppliers in other States and dealers in Tamil Nadu, said Madurai Superintendent of Police R. Shiva Prasad.
Talking to reporters here on Saturday, Mr. Prasad said that the office of Director General of Police in Tamil Nadu is in touch with his counterparts in other States to take action against such identified drug peddlers.
"These people from various parts of Tamil Nadu have settled in Andhra Pradesh and act as agents for ganja suppliers from Andhra Prades/Odissa," he added.
Meanwhile, Madurai District Police have seized Rs. 1.56 crore worth 17 movable and immovable properties of 13 persons in connection with possession of 21.800 kg of ganja by three accused in May.
"Among the seized properties were 11 houses, five shopping complexes and one vehicle belonging to 13 persons. This case pertains to seizure of around 22 kg of ganja from three accused by Nagamalai Pudukottai police in May," said Mr. Shiva Prasad.
He said that out of the five ganja cases, involving commercial quantity of ganja (20 kg or more), for which financial investigation was taken up to identify the properties bought with the proceeds of the sale of ganja, three cases had been confirmed by the Competent Authority, the SP said.
Seizure orders have been issued in two other cases and were pending confirmation order. "We have taken up financial investigation in three more cases," Mr. Prasad said.
