The Eagle Force police have busted a drug trafficking network operating in Hyderabad and arrested seven people in two separate cases registered in Miyapur and Saifabad. Police seized around 1 kg of opium and 25 grams of mephedrone, with the total value of the drugs estimated at about ₹12.65 lakh.
According to investigators, the drugs were transported from Rajasthan to Hyderabad using private buses, trains and personal vehicles. Police said the network involved suppliers, carriers, delivery agents and intermediaries from Rajasthan. Investigators identified Mahendar Mawat, a Rajasthan-based suspect, as a key supplier. Police also found that the group had allegedly transported drugs on around 78 occasions.
In the Miyapur case, three suspects were arrested, while four others were arrested in the Saifabad case. Police are continuing efforts to locate other people linked to the network who remain at large. The Eagle Force has also identified and dismantled facilities allegedly being used to manufacture MD drugs as part of its wider crackdown on the drug trade.
