Telangana police bust drug supply ring, seize narcotics worth Rs 18 lakh

In an anti-drug operation, Telangana’s Chandanagar Police, working alongside the State Narcotic Bureau, busted a major drug racket, seizing narcotics valued at ₹18 lakhs. The raid, which took place in a residence at Gulmohar Park, led to the arrest of Krishna Ram Choudhary, a 28-year-old from Rajasthan accused of supplying drugs from Rajasthan to Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh.
Preliminary investigations revealed a wider network, implicating eight individuals in total. While Choudhary and two others, Chail Singh and Sumar Singh, were in custody, five others were on the run. Chail Singh and Sumar Singh were arrested by Choutuppal Police, and an FIR was filed against the suspects, including Samir Khan, Ladhuram, Vikram Singh, Ram Singh, and Pukraj Singh.
The operation was made possible due to a tip-off from a local resident whose information proved vital in orchestrating the successful raid of 150 g of narcotics. Chandanagar Police Inspector Palavelli also received praise for his swift action and coordination with the Narcotic Bureau, showcasing a committed effort to combat drug trafficking in the region.
Earlier in the day, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officials at Hyderabad International Airport intercepted two Indian nationals arriving from Bangkok. A detailed inspection of their checked luggage revealed 13 vacuum-sealed transparent packets hidden within Kellogg’s chocolate boxes.
Inside these packets, officials found a green, sticky substance that tested positive for cannabis using a field test kit.
