A 43-year-old man from West Bengal was arrested near Goa's famous Calangute beach last night for allegedly possessing 160 gm cannabis, police said today.
The accused, Mohammed Samir Alam, was picked up on a tip off, Calangute police inspector Jivba Dalvi said.
The value of the seized cannabis is Rs 16,000.
"Police had reliable information about a drug paddler arriving near the beach to deliver the consignment. When the accused person came at the place he was immediately rounded up," he said.
Alam has been booked under the NDPS (Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances) Act, 1985.
