Telangana Police Arrest Six in Alprazolam Supply Network Targeting Toddy Sellers
Telangana's EAGLE Force arrested six individuals involved in an inter-district network supplying 1.189 kilograms of Alprazolam to toddy sellers in Hyderabad. The accused, some engaged in real estate and others owning toddy compounds or food kiosks, allegedly procured the psychotropic drug in bulk, stored it securely, and supplied it to enhance toddy’s intoxicating effects. Police seized cash, mobile phones, and a vehicle during the operation. Investigations continue to identify additional absconding members and the supply chain's full extent.
