Karwar, January 7: In a joint operation, Karwar rural police and railway police arrested a woman for carrying drugs in Karwar railway station on Friday morning. According to police, 28-year-old Golma Devi was carrying the 4.25 kg of charas worth Rs 80 lakh.

Superintendent of Police K T Balakrishna said on Friday that Golma hails from Hulu in Himachal Pradesh. "Though Golma was caught red-handed with the bag full of charas, her accomplice Narayan Singh Rathod escaped. Both were carrying the drugs to Goa. Police were checking luggages as part of the Sagara Kavacha mock drill in Karwar railway station when the accused was caught."

"Cops at the railway station observed that Golma and her accomplice were loitering around suspiciously. The cops immediately approached them to check their bags and found a huge quantity of drugs. The final estimation is not out but it's expected to touch Rs 80 lakh," Balakrishna said.

The police are on a lookout for Narayan. "This is the first case where a huge quantity of drugs were seized," he said.

Narayan has been staying in Karwar for four years and was selling vegetables with one Maneshwar Gowda. Meanwhile, Golma alleges that she has no role in drug trafficking. She claimed the bag belonged to Narayan and she wasn't even aware of the contents.
