Kasargod, Oct 14: A Qatar-bound passenger narrowly escaped from being caught with ganja after he found it in a pair of jeans given to him by another person. The incident was reported at Manjeshwar here on Wednesday October 14.
Ashraf, a resident of Kunjathur, was preparing to leave for Qatar for a job, when a person named Rahim, a resident near Manjeshwar railway station, gave him a pair of jeans and asked him to hand it over to his friend in Qatar.
Ashraf accepted the request and took the parcel from Rahim. Fortunately, he checked the jeans thoroughly while packing his luggage and found ganja hidden inside the hem.
He immediately informed the Manjeshwar police, who arrived at the spot and upon inspection, found that the ganja weighed 20 grams.
The Manjeshwar police have filed a case against Rahim and two of his friends.
Further investigations are on.
