Busts a Drug Racket in , – (04) Arrested, 1.15 Kg G***a & 47 Grms OG W**d Seized, 50 Students Under Probe
The sleuths of EAGLE Telangana have cracked down on a major interstate drug peddling racket that was supplying narcotics to university students in Hyderabad. Acting on credible information, a raid was conducted on 25.08.2025 at Shivalayam Colony, Suraram, Jeedimetla. The operation resulted in the arrest of four accused persons and the seizure of 1.15 Kg G***a & 47 Grms OG W**d, along with drug packaging material, a weighing machine, and multiple mobile phones used for trafficking.
Operation:
During the investigation of Malnadu Restaurant case, it was revealed that drug parcels were booked through one Rajesh Enterprises a franchise of Sree Maruti Couriers. The videos of the parcel booking and receipt by Annanamaneni Surya are attached. Eagle Team obtained the list of parcels sent by Sree Maruti Couriers to Hyderabad. On further investigations, it was seen that the receiver mobile numbers were that of one Indian Mobile number which was being used by a Nigerian from Nigeria. We reached a dead end due to the gross malpractice of Rajesh Enterprises (a franchise holder of Sree Maruti Couriers) and Sree Maruthi Couriers to screen the parcels of Drug Supplier and Drug Receivers.
Not to be defeated, we got in touch with the delivery boys and came to know that Two parcels emanating from a Nigerian in Delhi. The parcels were delivered to one student Dinesh on 2 occasions in Mahindra University, Hyderabad. On further enquiry, we came to know that one more student Bhaskar made 2 payments to Nick a Nigerian 1st time 9K on PhonePe and 2nd time 8K through ATM Cash deposit. Cleverly one boy is making the payment and the other boy was receiving the parcel. They received 4 M**A pills on 2 occasions and consumed along with 3 other friends at Quake Arena Pub. One Pavan had provided the phone number of Nick who will provide all types of Drugs through couriers from Delhi. The same Nick had provided Drugs worth Rs.1.3 Lakhs and 80K on two occasions to Surya of Malnadu case.
EAGLE teams then fanned out around the University Campus and started collecting intelligence from the Security Guards and Students and came to know that there is one student who used to stay in the Hostel and shifted to a house outside the campus and is selling Drugs. A week of pain staking work we could identify 2 students, their houses, their contacts, their bank accounts, their UPI and PhonePe payment transactions and alerted the University authorities. Based on the payments made through banking channels, we could identify some 50 students who might have been consuming drugs.
Investigations revealed that the accused had set up a well-structured supply chain connecting interstate suppliers, local peddler, and university students. Drugs were procured from Delhi and Bidar, smuggled into Hyderabad through courier and transport networks, and then pushed into Mahindra University through student distributors. The probe further established that at least 50 student consumers were regularly buying and using drugs from this network, and legal action will follow against all of them under the NDPS Act.
Details of the Arrest:
1. Nevelle Tongbram (21 years, student, native of Manipur): Custodian of the premises and the main handler. He procured OG W**d from Delhi contacts, arranged delivery through courier parcels, and stored the consignments in his rented flat at Suraram. He ensured payments were made via UPI transfers or cash sent through friends.
2. Ambati Ganesh (24 years, resident of Jeedimetla): In charge of distribution in Hyderabad. He repackaged consignments into 4-gram packets and sold them at inflated prices to students and local buyers. He also built connections with local peddlers for secondary supplies.
3. Boosa Shiva Kumar (26 years, marketing employee, Jeedimetla): The interstate supplier who travelled to Bidar, Karnataka, to procure bulk consignments of G***a. He supplied these to Ganesh, ensuring uninterrupted supply lines into Hyderabad.
4. Mohd. Ashar Jawed Khan (21 years, student of Mahindra University, originally from Delhi): The principal campus-level distributor who, along with Nevelle, supplied narcotics to university students. He also independently sourced consignments from Gurugram and Delhi using India Post courier.
Modus Operandi:
The accused adopted sophisticated methods to conceal their drug operations. High-grade OG W**d was procured in bulk from Delhi-based suppliers like Arvind Sharma and Aneel Soibam. These consignments were sent to Hyderabad using DTDC courier services, with drugs carefully hidden in everyday items and packed in ziplock covers to avoid suspicion. Payments were made digitally through UPI, splitting transactions across multiple accounts, or routed through friends to evade detection.
At the same time, Boosa Shiva Kumar kept a steady flow of supply from Bidar, Karnataka, transporting consignments personally into Hyderabad. These bulk supplies were handed to Ambati Ganesh, who split them into small packets of 4 grams each and sold them at ₹500 per packet, making double the investment value. Nevelle shared the consumer details to Ganesh and Ashar, helping the network expand. Each ounce (28 Grms) of OG w**d was purchased from Delhi for Rs.30,000 and they were selling to the fellow students for 1 gram for Rs.2,500. One gram of OG W**d goes into 2 Ci******es thus each student will be spending Rs.2,500 everyday!!!
Inside Mahindra University, the accused specifically targeted students. Ashar played the role of a trusted peer distributor, collecting orders, delivering packets inside hostels and at private gatherings, and collecting payments digitally. Nevelle and Ashar maintained a ready list of student consumers and coordinated demand so that fresh supplies could be dispatched from Delhi and Gurugram as needed.
The investigation also revealed the role of two students, Bhaskar and Dinesh (both BBA students at Mahindra University), who acted as intermediaries for synthetic drugs. They established contact with a Nigerian national known as “Nick,” based in Delhi, who was supplying M**A pills. Bhaskar and Dinesh sent payments digitally to Nick and received M**A consignments through Sri Maruthi courier services. These pills were then supplied to fellow students, adding a synthetic drug angle to the racket.
This shows the racket was not limited to G***a alone but also had active links to international suppliers through Nigerians like Nick, widening its scale and impact. The accused therefore built a two-pronged network: OG W**d through courier from Delhi and Bidar, and M**A pills through foreign-controlled networks operating in India.
WHO IS TO BE BLAMED ….???
ADC of the University never passed on faint suspicion to the local police.
There is no checking of the hostels by the University Authorities.
Is it possible that drug parcels are delivered to a Hostel and Students themselves are buying and selling drugs on such a large scale?
Can parents give such huge amounts of pocket money to their children!
Why the fellow students are keeping quiet when the bad eggs are spoiling the name of their Alma mater?
Is it believable that the university authorities do not know about the happenings in the campus.
Why the University doesn’t have an unequivocal policy against drugs and surprise medical checking for the students to rule out the use of drugs?
Who is responsible for spoiling the youth and future of the state and the country?
Such Universities and Institutions who only collect hefty fee and shirk their responsibilities should be fined heavily by the Government authorities.
Does suspending the students from the University, solve the problem?
90 % of the cases of the use of Hard Drugs, those persons started smoking G***a in their college days. G***a is the Gateway to HELL.
The students are not realising that company makes a man. Bad company and peer pressure are the main reasons for a student’s downfall.
Sree Maruthi Couriers, DTDC Couriers, India Post and Track on Couriers are delivering drugs through their parcel services.
Seizure:
• 1.15 Kg G***a & 47 Grms OG W**d
• 28 stonay pouches used for drug packing
• Digital weighing machine for repackaging
• Multiple high-end smartphones for handling orders, UPI payments, and courier tracking
The seizures confirm that the accused were running a commercial-scale narcotics business with organized supply and retail mechanisms. A case has been registered at Cyberabad Narcotic PS as Cr.No.8/2025 under the following sections: U/s 8(c) r/w 20(b)(2)(B), 20(b)(2)(A), 27, 29 of the NDPS Act.
