The Eagle Team and the Hyderabad Narcotics Enforcement Wing (H-NEW) carried out a joint raid in Mallepally, under the Habeeb Nagar Police Station limits in Hyderabad, and seized 300 Nitro-Vit tablets. The operation targeted the illegal sale of intoxicating substances.
During the raid, police detained Uppada Prasad and Sameera Begum. The 300 Nitro-Vit tablets were seized from their possession.
In a separate operation, police apprehended two other individuals, identified as Pallavi and Suryadharan.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the tablets were allegedly procured from Bidar in Karnataka. They were reportedly being sold by targeting local youth. Police suspect that, with a decline in ganja sales, some individuals are increasingly turning to such tablets as an alternative means of intoxication.
Authorities stated that a detailed investigation is underway. They added that further raids will be conducted to curb the illegal supply and sale of narcotic and intoxicating substances.
