Two Odisha natives arrested in Kochi for supplying ganja to migrant workers

KOCHI: Two persons were taken into custody by the Excise for supplying ganja to migrant workers. Ashish Digal and Bulson Digal, natives of Odisha, were caught by a special squad led by Inspector KP Pramod. 1.938 kilograms of ganja have been seized from them.
