He then befriended Mathi, who worked at a medical shop, and began providing him the drugs with hopes of forming a wider network. Reports state that the drugs were procured at Rs 3000 per gram and were being sold at double the price at Rs 6000 per gram in Chennai. Asif Raja, who got his supply from Mathi, sold it in the form of syringes. The cops are working to snatch the main gang in Mumbai. In just two days, 20 kgs of ganja have been seized by Chennai police from Chromepet, Tiruvottiyur, Madhavaram, Kilpauk and Ashok Nagar areas.
