Kancheepuram district superintendent of police Santhosh Hadimani received information that ganja was being smuggled through Sriperumbudur in a truck that was coming from Andhra Pradesh. Following this, several teams of police were deployed at various spots to check vehicles. One of the teams stopped a truck that was coming from Visakhapatnam and on its way to collect automobile parts from a private firm in Sipcot.
