Telangana Police Detain 14 Drug Consumers in Multi-District RaidsPreviousNext

Telangana's anti-narcotics unit, EAGLE Force, conducted raids across Hyderabad and nearby districts, apprehending 14 individuals who tested positive for THC after suspected drug consumption. Investigations revealed two main peddlers leasing a hostel in Goa, sourcing cocaine, MDMA, LSD, and hash oil from Bengaluru and Odisha, distributing them in Hyderabad's film industry and LB Nagar. The consumers admitted drug use and transferred Rs 3.13 lakh for purchases. They have been sent for medical examination and de-addiction treatment, with cases registered and investigations ongoing.
