Telangana Police Arrest Key Figures in Separate Hyderabad Marijuana Trafficking CasesPreviousNext

Telangana's EAGLE Force arrested two key figures in separate marijuana trafficking networks in Hyderabad after extensive investigations. Bhaskar Hazarika, a former security guard, was detained along with four others from Assam following a 60-day operation that seized over 24 kg of marijuana. Separately, Kalapathi Neethu Bai, known as the 'ganja queen,' was arrested after a year-long search; authorities had earlier attached assets worth crores linked to her network. Both cases involve organized distribution supplying numerous consumers across Hyderabad and Cyberabad.
