Hyderabad Police Arrest Two Drug Peddlers, Seize MDMA and Large Ganja QuantityPreviousNext

Hyderabad police arrested two men involved in drug distribution during separate operations. A 22-year-old from Vijayawada was caught in Madhapur with 15 grams of MDMA, 382 grams of OG Kush ganja, and related materials, confessing to sourcing drugs from two absconding suppliers. Eight individuals were found consuming drugs at the site. In a separate Gachibowli operation, a 26-year-old was arrested with 26 kilograms of ganja concealed in an auto-rickshaw, with three other suspects still at large. Investigations continue to trace the networks and suppliers involved.
