    It may not be ganja. It could be the ayurvedic bitter herb for stomach trouble which is sold in the market.

    One should be alert while at the airport with his hand baggage all the time. Specially the poor house maids/servants who will have no clue as what has happened. Alert your neighbours/ colleagues if they are travelling alone, as Mangalore is becoming a busy international route though remote.

    Trace the roots and fine connections /contacts of this Carrier.
    Drugs kill people - screw up the young youth -college students -destroy families.
    These thugs make easy money for their mean ends, so time to find them from the root and eliminate them .
    They should be imprisoned till death by law.
    As well as Pimps- rapists- hawala dealers- extortionists-mafia-match fixers- just eliminate these corrupt- social evils.

    This guy is lucky to be caught in Mangalore before reaching Dubai. Otherwise he would have been caught in Dubai and experienced the heat of the desert and a lengthy jail term!

    Because of Kerala passengers Manglorians or udupi people suffer.Its either because of such an criminal activity or of ticket fare and even nowadays Kerlaites are entering Mangalore for business.Sad to think even regarding this as Tamilians captured Bangalore Kerlaites will cover Mangalore I guess 30% they have did already.

    First make sure the scanner is working properly or the security officials was in half sleep when they scan it?

    Nowadays many things are FAKE.

    This is the one who was caught. How many passengers have went undetected?
    Dubai airport has sniffer dogs to check luggage. Mangalore airport too should seriously think of K-9 facilities.

    If he had gone to dubai the baggage of ganga would be left behind in airport for another kerelaite to pick up and pass it on or just dump the suit case in the dust bin later to be pick up passed on there by escape the scanners and police in dubai.

    Right Said Lydia
    He should be thankful for Mlore customs that they caught him here. If they had allowed him to travel & later tipped of Dubai police, his life would have been over.

    He is fortunate that he did not get caught by the Dubai Police.

    Before sentencing his to the gallows, he would have been fed the very drug through all openings of his body !
