In a recent drug bust in Hyderabad, 24 individuals were arrested for being involved in drugs. The operation was carried out by the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau, Cyberabad Special Operations Teams, and Prohibition and Excise State Task Force at Cave Pub in Khajaguda.
Those arrested were drug or ganja consumers, while the pub owners Rajesh, Abhinav, Sai Krishna, and Sunny are currently on the run. The pub owners were reportedly organizing a ‘Psychedelic Party’ to encourage drug use among consumers.
Acting on a tip-off, law enforcement officials raided the pub with new technical equipment and arrested 25 individuals who tested positive for narcotics. DJ operators Sandeep Sharma and Sai Gaurang were among those who tested positive for drugs.
Further investigation revealed that the pub manager and organizers intentionally allowed drug consumption during the party. Authorities plan to involve the families of the arrested individuals in the de-addiction process.
The Anti-Narcotics Bureau has urged youth and students to avoid substance abuse and asked parents to monitor their children’s activities closely. They have also requested the public to report any suspicious behavior related to drugs to help create a drug-free city.
