Most of the cases the dug peddlers arrested in the case are from Kasargod but in this case its TN. Knowing the drawbacks of drug menace why do you make involvement in such and get caught

Though so many are held in drug peddling cases still it is going on at large . It is the lack of fear towards law and order
