In a shocking and bizarre incident, a fully-grown ganja (cannabis) plant, standing three feet tall, was found thriving within the secured campus of the Stanley Government Hospital in Vannarapettai, Chennai. The discovery has sent waves of panic and disbelief through one of the city’s largest healthcare facilities, which sees thousands of patients and visitors daily.
The incident came to light following repeated complaints to the hospital administration from individuals within the complex about a persistent smell of ganja wafting through a particular area of the grounds. The hospital campus, known for its maintained trees and decorative plants, became the subject of an internal check.
Acting on the complaints, authorities conducted an inspection. To their astonishment, they found the substantial cannabis plant growing openly. Visuals of the plant, shot by a visitor to the hospital at approximately 11:00 AM, clearly show its robust height and health, situated well within the hospital’s boundaries.
The discovery caused immediate shock and panic among attending doctors, medical staff, and patients on the campus. Hospital security promptly informed the local police.
Police personnel arrived at the scene and, after documenting the find, uprooted the entire plant, roots and all, and removed it from the premises for evidence and further analysis. An investigation is now underway, with police questioning doctors, staff, and patients present at the hospital. The core lines of inquiry focus on determining how the plant grew to such a size without detection and, crucially, whether it was deliberately cultivated by anti-social elements on the hospital grounds.
Authorities have confirmed the plant’s removal.
