As party season begins, police and narcotics officials have stepped up raids in Hyderabad following multiple tip offs. A recent incident has shocked residents and raised fresh concerns about drug circulation in the city.
Police arrested four people for selling drugs from a densely populated residential area in Chikkadpally. The group included three youth and a woman. The woman is reportedly a software employee working at a well known tech company.
Officials seized MDMA, LSD bottles, and OG Kush from the accused. The total value of the confiscated drugs is estimated at around Rs 4 lakh. Investigations are ongoing to trace their supply network.
With New Year celebrations approaching, police have intensified surveillance across Hyderabad. Citizens are increasingly worried as drug seizure cases continue to surface across different parts of the city.
Earlier, drug peddling cases mostly involved Nigerians and other foreign nationals. Recently, however, locals have also entered the trade for quick money, with several arrests happening in residential areas, pointing to a rise in drug use.
