Police in Udupi district conducted a raid on a local homestay, seizing a substantial amount of cannabis. The operation reportedly took place early in the morning and involved officers from the district’s drug enforcement squad.
The raid comes amid a broader campaign to curb illicit cultivation of psychoactive plants in Karnataka. Authorities allege that the homestay was being used as a covert growth site, in violation of state and central drug laws. Previous investigations in the region have targeted similar establishments, aiming to deter illegal activity that threatens public safety.
The seizure is expected to lead to legal action against those involved, with potential criminal charges under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The incident has drawn attention from local tourism bodies, as Udupi’s economy relies heavily on homestays and cultural tourism. Source: Google News – Udupi.
