The police on Monday (April 28, 2025) arrested Kerala rapper Vedan (Hirandas Murali) after recovering nearly six grams of ganja from his apartment near Vyttila in Kochi.
The narcotic substance was recovered by the personnel from the Hill Palace police station following a tip-off. It is learnt that he had reached the apartment along with eight of his friends after a stage programme on Sunday night (April 17, 2025). Police were questioning the rapper and his friends at the time of filing of this report.
“He will be booked as per the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after the interrogation is completed,” they said. He may be released on station bail as the quantity in possession was minimal. Police said that further details related to the ganja seizure will be revealed soon.
A native of Thrissur, Vedan’s ‘Voice of the Voiceless’ rap video was a hit online. He had also collaborated with music director Sushin Shyam in the promo song ‘Kuthanthram’ for the movie ‘Manjummel Boys’.
