The suspects, identified as a 32-year-old techie and a 35-year-old real estate manager, were intercepted when they were attempting to transport the contraband. The police received a tip-off about their activities and were waiting for the right moment to make the arrest. Upon conducting a thorough search, the officials found the narcotics and liquor hidden in a well-organized manner inside their vehicle.
The arrest is a significant achievement for the excise department in Hyderabad, which has been stepping up its efforts to curb the illegal trade of drugs and alcohol. The seized drugs include a significant quantity of OG Kush, a high-end strain of marijuana known for its potent effects. Additionally, the team found a substantial amount of ganja, another popular form of marijuana. The foreign liquor, which included several high-end brands, added to the overall value of the seized items.
Speaking to the media, an excise official said, 'This operation is a result of months of meticulous planning and intelligence gathering. We have been monitoring the activities of these individuals for some time now, and we finally had enough evidence to make the arrest. The seizure of such high-value drugs and liquor is a major setback for the illegal trade in Hyderabad.'
The suspects have been booked under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) and Excise Act. They are currently in police custody and are being interrogated to gather more information about their network and potential suppliers. The police are also investigating whether the suspects have any connections to other drug peddlers in the city.
This case highlights the growing issue of drug and alcohol trafficking in urban areas like Hyderabad. The city, known for its vibrant tech and real estate sectors, has also seen a rise in illegal activities, particularly involving high-end drugs and foreign liquor. The excise department is working closely with other law enforcement agencies to ensure that such activities are curbed and the public is protected.
The community has reacted with a mix of shock and relief. While some residents are surprised at the involvement of professionals from the tech and real estate sectors, others are relieved that the authorities are taking proactive measures to address the issue. The local authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station.
The police have appealed to the public to provide any additional information that could help in the investigation. They are also conducting raids in other parts of the city to identify and arrest other individuals involved in the illegal drug trade.
This arrest is a clear indication of the government's commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring the safety of its citizens. The excise department is expected to continue its efforts to combat illegal drug and alcohol trade, with a focus on high-profile cases that have a significant impact on the community.
