# Woman arrested with hashish oil at Kozhikode hospital 2026-08-08T05:48:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Kozhikode City police arrested a 32-year-old woman on Thursday after recovering 56 grams of hashish oil from her during a surprise inspection at the Government Medical College Hospital. The accused, Aswathi from Wayanad, was at the hospital as a bystander for a patient in the maternity ward. The hashish oil was concealed in two small plastic bottles. Hospital staff grew suspicious of her behaviour and alerted the police, leading to the seizure. The Hindu reports that the woman intended to smuggle the cannabis extract to her husband, who is lodged in the Kozhikode district jail. Investigators believe she planned to pass the substance to other inmates who came to the hospital, from where it could reach the prison. A case has been registered, and the police are investigating the source of the drug. They have stepped up surveillance to prevent narcotics from reaching prisoners through hospitals or other transit points. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: drug arrest, hashish oil, hospital, Kozhikode, police, prison security Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/woman-arrested-with-hashish-oil-at-kozhikode-hospital/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
