HYDERABAD, INDIA – November 19, 2025 – Excise officials in Hyderabad conducted a series of coordinated raids on Wednesday, resulting in the seizure of nearly 18 kilograms of ganja and the booking of over 20 individuals. A significant portion of the haul, 6.5 kilograms, was seized in Fatehnagar following intelligence suggesting a shift in ganja trade from Dhoolpet to Fatehnagar and Pardiwada.
In a separate operation, the State Task Force (STF) – A team arrested three women, identified as Sheikh Jaitan B, Shakti Nani Mela, and Shakti Parasi Suguna, in Fatehnagar for selling ganja, seizing 1.262 kilograms of the drug and ₹7,690 in cash. Four other suspects related to this case, Shakti Sanjesh Kumar, Shakti Khus B, Kaliwala Vishal, and Satish, are currently at large and wanted for questioning. The arrested women have been handed over to the Balanagar excise station.
Further afield, STF – D team travelled from Hyderabad to Warangal following a tip-off, discovering 10 kilograms of ganja in a suspicious plastic bag near the railway station. As no one was found claiming the contraband, it was turned over to the Warangal excise station for further investigation.
The raids demonstrate ongoing efforts by Hyderabad excise officials to combat the illegal drug trade within the city and surrounding areas. The investigations are ongoing.
