A suspected drug peddler named in over a dozen cases, including sexual harassment, was arrested here Wednesday allegedly transporting over a kilogram of cannabis, police said. Jugnu Sharma, in his early 30s, was held during checking by police near Sector 71, under Phase III police station limits, while he was coming on a scooter, the police said.

He also faces cases under the Uttar Pradesh Gangster Act. 'During a probe, it was found that Sharma was carrying 1.2 kg of cannabis. When checked further, it emerged that he had been expelled from the district because of his criminal record,' a police official said.
