The arrest of an autorickshaw driver in Bengaluru in August led the police on a drug trail that resulted in the unearthing of a huge haul — 1,350 kg of marijuana — across three districts in the State. It all started when the Seshadripuram police caught a 37-year-old autorickshaw driver allegedly selling marijuana in the last week of August, leading them to one of the biggest marijuana hauls ever. According to the police, Siddunath Lavate owns several acres of land in his home town, and was peddling marijuana to his contacts across the State. The accused were arrested and a huge quantity of marijuana was seized, which, according to Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant, is the biggest seizure so far.
