Overview
- Acting on a tip, EAGLE and Gachibowli Police raided Rajeshwari Nilayam in Kondapur late Sunday, seizing 20 g of cocaine, eight ecstasy pills weighing 20 g, and 3 g of MDMA worth roughly Rs 10 lakh.
- Those held include alleged peddlers Teja and Vikram, transporter Chandan, and three consumers that police identified as a homemaker, a software engineer, and a wine shop owner.
- Investigators say Bengaluru-based supplier Rahul, who remains absconding, sent cocaine concealed in glutathione packages via DTDC courier and received payments routed to different bank accounts.
- Police reported drug-test results showing Teja positive for five substances, the homemaker positive for three, two others positive for one each, and transporter Chandan negative.
- Probe details link the group to a December 2023 Goa rave and repeated visits to a Rajahmundry farmhouse, with police also citing connections to a Malanadu drug case associate and a Nigerian source now at large.
