They also arrested one Mahendran at Kamudi in Ramanathapuram on charges of supplying Ganja to Shankar, whose two other associates, Ramprabhu and Rajarathinam, were also arrested and ganja seized from them. Shankar was granted conditional bail by the Special Court in all these cases in September and came out of prison. However, in the pending ganja case, he failed to appear before the court to attend the proceedings following which the NBW warrant was against him, leading to his arrest. UNI GV 1710
