In a crackdown on narcotics, Kerala police raided the Government Polytechnic College men’s hostel in Kalamassery, seizing 2 kg of ganja and arresting three students. Two students were granted bail, while Akash M, found with 1.909 kg of ganja, was remanded in judicial custody. The incident sparked political blame games between the Kerala Students Union (KSU) and Students’ Federation of India (SFI). Authorities are investigating external links and involvement in drug peddling.
