TN Police detain You Tuber under Goondas Act in connection with a ganja case
YouTuber Savukku Shankar was hled in May for alleged possession of ganja
New Delhi, August 13
The Tamil Nadu police detained YouTuber 'Savukku' Shankar under the Goondas Act in connection with a ganja case.
Shankar and two others were arrested in May for possession of 500 grams of ganja found in his car.
In a related development, Theni district police also arrested Mahendran, who allegedly supplied ganja to Shankar, seizing 3 kg of ganja from his residence.
Shankar was granted bail in the ganja case on July 29 by a Madurai court, but his detention under the Goondas Act comes just days after the Madras High Court set aside his detention in a forgery and cheating case. Earlier in May, he was arrested in Coimbatore for allegedly making derogatory remarks against women police personnel.
