Police Bust Drug Racket, Seize 300 Kg of Ganja in Hyderabad
The Rachakonda Special Operations Team (SOT) from Maheshwaram Zone, along with Abdullapurmet Police, has busted an interstate drug syndicate. They arrested a drug peddler and seized 300 kg of ganja worth ₹1.05 crore.
The arrested person has been identified as Ahmed Gulab Shaik, a transporter from Pune, Maharashtra. According to the police, he was struggling financially and wanted to make quick money. In search of an opportunity, he came into contact with two known drug peddlers, Vaibhav and Deva, from Pune. They offered him ₹3 lakh per consignment to transport ganja from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, to Pune and other locations.
Following their instructions, Gulab Shaik traveled to Visakhapatnam, where he collected 300 kg of ganja (138 packets) from a supplier named Bujji Babu. To avoid detection, he hid the ganja inside a container filled with plastic scrap. He then started his journey to Pune via Hyderabad.
Acting on a tip-off, the SOT Maheshwaram Zone team, along with Abdullapurmet Police, intercepted the container near Ramoji Film City. They arrested Gulab Shaik and seized the contraband, successfully stopping the illegal transportation of drugs.
