The Central Crime Branch (CCB) police have arrested a man identified as Dhruv D. Shetty (22), a resident of Sakleshpur in Hassan district, on charges of supplying the banned substance ganja (marijuana) to Mangaluru city.
His arrest comes in connection with a case registered on June 2, when five individuals were caught in the outskirts of the city at Haladi, Padushedde, while allegedly dividing ganja for sale to students and the public.
