Hyderabad's drug enforcement agency, the Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE), has busted a high-profile drug network with interstate connections, starting with the arrest of a local consumer near RTC Crossroads. This individual, the son of a prominent biscuit factory chairman, tested positive for cocaine and led the authorities to a wider web of drug abuse.
The investigation revealed a shocking tale of drug abuse and a well-connected supply chain. The accused, a Hyderabad native, admitted to a long history of cocaine use, starting from his MBA days in London. After returning home, he continued his habit with the help of friends who sourced the drug through their Goa contacts. While some of his accomplices moved abroad, he stayed in the city, maintaining his addiction.
The case took a significant turn when the accused attended a business conference in Delhi two years ago. There, he met a group of businessmen, including a Delhi-based school owner. This connection led to a recent reunion in a luxury hotel in Madhapur, Hyderabad. The group, joined by the biscuit factory owner's son, allegedly indulged in cocaine abuse during their stay. The Delhi businessman had brought four grams of cocaine, which they consumed, and the remaining amount was kept by the local businessman for later use at a birthday party in Jubilee Hills.
This incident highlights the complex nature of drug networks, often involving affluent individuals and their international connections. As the accused seeks help at a de-addiction centre, the EAGLE team's efforts showcase the importance of persistent drug enforcement to disrupt such clandestine operations.
