The Telangana Police carried out a raid on an alleged illegal gathering at a farmhouse in the Moinabad police station limits in Hyderabad, finding a total of 62 attendees, including 22 minors.
Upon being tested with a urine kit, two individuals were found to be positive for drugs. The Inspector of Moinabad police station said that during raids, 22 minors and 40 adults were detained. Two adults tested positive for drugs using a urine test kit, and a case has been registered against both individuals and the party organisers." A formal case has been filed, and further investigation is underway.
Separately, the Rachakonda Narcotics Police Station and the Regional Narcotics Control Cell, Khammam Wing of the Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE), intercepted a DCM vehicle near Ramoji Film City, Pedda Amberpet. They apprehended three transporters from Rajasthan who were illegally moving 401 kg of Ganja from Visakhapatnam to Rajasthan.
EAGLE reported that the contraband was cleverly hidden beneath a load of coconuts and was meant for delivery to a supplier in Rajasthan. Six accused were identified: Chotu Narayana Lal Naik, Pushkar Raj Naik, Kishan Lal Nayak, Sridhar, Ashu, and Parameshwar.
EAGLE stated that three of the accused — Sridhar, Ashu, and Parameshwar — at present, are at large. Security officials in Telangana reported that Om Bishnoi from Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, was involved in the transportation of Ganja in his area. He sourced the contraband from Sridhar in Rajamundry and employed Chotu Narayana Lal Naik to transport shipments in his Hyundai Venue for a payment of ₹25,000 per trip.
When Om Bishnoi was arrested in Jagdalpur, Odisha, and subsequently imprisoned, Chotu Narayana Lal Naik reportedly struck a direct deal with Sridhar, agreeing to purchase 400 kilograms of Ganja at ₹2,000 per kilogram. Naik was planning to sell the Ganja to Ashu in Bikaner for ₹4,000 per kilogram. For the transportation, Naik involved Pushkar Raj Naik, Kishan Lal Nayak, and Parameshwar.
The Ganja was then loaded onto a van and concealed under the coconuts, set to head to Rajasthan. Naik and Pushkar escorted the van, driven by Kishan Lal Nayak, in their own car. While travelling along the Vijayawada Highway near Abdullapurmet X Road, a joint team from the Rachakonda Narcotics Police Station and the RNCC Khammam Wing stopped both vehicles, apprehending Chotu Narayana Lal Naik and Kishan Lal Nayak.
Items seized during the operation included: 401.467 kilograms of Ganja, five mobile telephones, a van, and a car. A case was subsequently registered under various sections of the NDPS Act at the Rachakonda Narcotics Police Station.
