Mangaluru College Authorities Catch Three Students With 290g Ganja
At a college in Mangaluru, grown-ups caught three students with a lot of a drug called ganja.
Ganja is a substance that it is against the rules to have.
The drug was found in many small packets.
Together, the packets weighed about 290 grams.
A doctor checked the three students and found that all of them had used the drug.
The college told the police about what they found.
The police wrote an official report about the students, which is called an FIR.
The student who brought the drug to the college had to go to court.
The court let him go for now because he is a student and the amount involved was not very large.
The police are now trying to find the person who sold the drug to the students.
College authorities in Mangaluru caught three students with approximately 290 grams of ganja packed in multiple small packets.
Medical testing confirmed that all three students had consumed the substance.
A FIR was registered under the NDPS Act, including Sections 27(b) (consumption) and 8(c).
