Hyderabad Police Crack Down on Drug Use in Hi-Tech City Pubs Ahead of New Year’s Eve
Hyderabad, India – Cyberabad police are intensifying efforts to combat drug consumption in the city’s party scene ahead of New Year’s Eve. Recent raids conducted by the EAGLE team targeted pubs and nightspots in the Hi-Tech City area, resulting in multiple arrests for drug use and the seizure of significant quantities of illicit substances.
During a raid on Quake Arena Pub in Kondapur, held during a pre-New Year concert featuring Ukrainian DJ Arbats, police arrested eight individuals who tested positive for drug consumption out of 14 suspected tested in the venue.
In total, 27 people have been arrested in recent raids for drug-related offenses, including 17 consumers, five of whom are foreign nationals. Law enforcement officials seized 68 grams of cocaine, 50.5 grams of MDMA, and 382 kilograms of ganja during the operations.
Further investigations revealed a connection to prominent figures. Police arrested two drug peddlers from Troop Bazaar near Masab Tank on December 19, and discovered that Aman Preet Singh, brother of actress Rakul Preet Singh, was a frequent customer. This marks the second time Amanpreet has been linked to drug-related activities, having been previously implicated in a drug gang apprehended in Narsingi last year. Tests confirmed he had consumed drugs.
Police officials stated that these special drives will continue throughout the New Year weekend, with the goal of ensuring a “drug-free and safe celebration environment” across Hyderabad’s party zones. The Cyberabad police are committed to maintaining law and order and preventing drug-related incidents during the festive season.
