Cracking the whip on drug peddlers, now Karnataka Transport department has joined Bengaluru Police and suspended Ravishankar for his role of drug supply in Sandalwood.

The department, citing absenteeism for four days without intimation and bringing disrepute to the transport department by his actions, placed him under suspension.

Police had earlier claimed that based on the leads from last month’s raid in which they seized 204kg of marijuana, they tracked Ravishankar and arrested him.
