Two youngsters have been arrested by the Visakhapatnam Police for having possession of 150 grams of ganja on the beach road. According to the police reports, Ceaser, a narcotics sniffer dog, aggressively barked at the youngsters who were standing by the road with a bike. The panic-stricken youngsters started to run away as the sniffer continued to bark at them. Alerted by the dog, the police promptly chased down the youngsters and questioned them. Upon checking their bike, the police uncovered 150 grams of ganja under the seat.
