Hyderabad: Drug Party Busted in Hotel, Four Arrested Including Choreographer
Despite government efforts to make Telangana a drug-free state, drug-related incidents continue to surface. In many cases, even celebrities have been found indulging in drugs and alcohol. Recently, authorities have intensified their actions, busting several drug parties in the state.
In a recent incident, the police disrupted a drug party in the Madhapur area of Hyderabad. A hotel room was raided by special task force teams, and drugs were seized during the operation. Four individuals were detained, including the organizer of the party. Reports revealed that a 24-year-old choreographer from the film industry was among those involved.
The police recovered drugs such as MDMA, LSD, and Charas, worth ₹4.18 lakh, from the accused. According to the Madhapur police, the party was planned by a group that included a person from Vizianagaram district in Andhra Pradesh, a well-known architect from Chandanagar, and a young woman from Gudivada in Krishna district. The group allegedly brought the drugs from Bangalore for the event.
Acting on a tip-off, Gachibowli police, along with the Cyberabad Special Operations Team (SOT), raided the hotel in Madhapur. Besides the individuals, six mobile phones were also seized during the operation. All four suspects were taken into custody, and cases have been registered against them. They have since been sent to judicial remand.
In another incident two days earlier, police seized a large quantity of drugs in Begumpet. A couple from Assam, identified as Atif Aslam Khan (34) and his wife Subhani Begum (22), were caught selling drugs. The couple, who resided in Prakash Nagar, reportedly procured drugs from Saurashtra via train and sold them locally for profit.
The authorities seized 254 grams of amphetamine worth ₹20 lakh from the couple. Along with this, 11 drug users connected to the case were also detained. Both incidents highlight the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to curb drug activities in the state.
