The West Bengal CID on Saturday seized 195 kg of ganja and over 5,000 bottles of cough syrup, and arrested two persons in this connection from a village in Nadia district.

Acting on a tip-off, a team of state CID raided a house at Kuchaidanga village under Hogolberia Police Station limits, and recovered a total of 195 kg of ganja and 5,400 bottles of Phensedyl cough linctus, a senior officer said.
