Suspended CISF Constable Arrested in Hyderabad with 158 kg MarijuanaPreviousNext

A suspended CISF constable, Panagudu Shiva Krishna, was arrested in Hyderabad on June 2 for allegedly transporting 158 kg of marijuana worth Rs 79 lakh. Police seized the drugs, a car, and mobile phones. Krishna, originally from Andhra Pradesh and residing in Kerala, joined CISF in 2009 and was suspended after a 2025 NDPS Act arrest. Authorities allege he procured marijuana from cultivators and supplied interstate peddlers, using his CISF ID to evade checks. Investigations continue.
