    The arrested was identified as Kanagalingam alias Senthil (32), of Periyapaniseri near Kundrathur. He had been absconding ever since the seizure. Police, last week seized guthka products concealed in eight sacks from an autorickshaw near Puzhal. The interrogation of the driver led to raids in a few places in and around Porur, in which five tonnes of guthka products and foreign cigarettes were seized.

    The police interrogated Kanagalingam for details of others involved in the smuggling racket. But the police said that he was a mere transporter and he allegedly received Rs 1.5 lakh as commission from the smugglers who operate from Bengaluru and Delhi.
