Hyderabad's Nightlife Under Scrutiny: Drug Busts and Public Safety

In a recent crackdown on drug-related activities, the Telangana Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) has made significant strides in curbing illegal substance abuse. On a fateful night in Hyderabad's upscale Jubilee Hills, EAGLE officers conducted a raid at The Moonshine Project, a popular pub, leading to the arrest of three individuals. The operation, which took place on October 31, shed light on the darker side of the city's nightlife.

The suspects, Ch Dinesh Kumar, Bahadur Rohith Singh, and Banda Revanth Reddy, were found to be under the influence of various substances. Dinesh Kumar's toxicology report revealed the presence of opioids and methamphetamine, while Rohith and Revanth tested positive for THC, a psychoactive compound found in cannabis. This bust highlights the growing concern over drug use in Hyderabad's social hotspots.

The EAGLE team's vigilance didn't stop there. In a separate incident on October 30, they joined forces with the Bollaram police to intercept a potential drug deal. Shubham Kumar Singh and Rithik Shiva Nandam Kurup were apprehended with a substantial stash of illegal substances, including MDMA, cocaine, and LSD. The drugs were reportedly sourced from a supplier named Nandu in Bengaluru, underscoring the complex network of drug trafficking across cities.

As the authorities continue their efforts, EAGLE encourages the public to play an active role in combating drug-related crimes. By providing a dedicated helpline and WhatsApp number, they aim to foster a collaborative environment where citizens can anonymously report suspicious activities. This proactive approach is crucial in maintaining public safety and ensuring Hyderabad's nightlife remains a source of entertainment rather than a haven for illicit activities.
