In a shocking revelation, Hyderabad's tranquil educational landscape was disrupted by a clandestine drug operation hidden within the confines of a local school. The Telangana Police's Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) recently exposed a sophisticated narcotics lab, leading to the arrest of three individuals, including the school's director, Malela Jaya Prakash Goud.
The second floor of Medha School, a seemingly ordinary educational institution, concealed a well-equipped chemistry lab with eight reactors and dryers, dedicated to producing Alprazolam, a banned sedative. This discovery raises concerns about the potential risks to students and staff unknowingly exposed to such a dangerous operation. The police raid yielded a substantial 7 kg of Alprazolam, along with Rs 21 lac in cash, raw chemicals, and manufacturing equipment, indicating a large-scale production setup.
Goud, the school director, allegedly learned the illicit trade from an associate named Guruvareddy and supplied the drugs to toddy depots in Mahabubnagar. The lab's operation was meticulously planned, functioning six days a week, with deliveries on Sundays, while regular classes continued on the lower floors, oblivious to the illegal activities above. This sophisticated setup raises questions about the extent of the drug network and the potential involvement of other educational institutions.
As authorities delve deeper into this case, the focus shifts to identifying the wider supply chain and potential accomplices. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of drug trafficking and the need for heightened vigilance within educational environments. The public awaits further updates as the investigation unfolds, leaving many to wonder how many more such operations remain hidden in plain sight.
