After Kannada actor Ragini Dwivedi’s arrest in connection with a drug abuse case in Bengaluru on 4th September, locals informed the Rampura Police about cannabis plants being cultivated in a large area.
Talking to TNM, the Rampura Police said:
The locals were watching the news about drugs and realised that the crops growing in that plot was the ganja plant.
The Police have arrested 3 persons in connection with the case and are yet to nab the prime suspect Rudresh, who was cultivating cannabis plants.
