Hyderabad Drug Raids Uncover Campus Supply Chain, With 50 Students Under Probe

Investigators are tracing courier manifests alongside digital payment trails to map interstate and foreign-linked suppliers.

Overview

  • EAGLE arrested four linked to a Mahindra University racket and seized 1.15 kg of ganja and 47 grams of high‑grade OG weed, naming student handler Nevelle Tongbram and campus distributor Mohd Ashar Jawed Khan among those held.
  • Police say consignments of OG weed came from Delhi and Gurugram while ganja moved from Bidar, with parcels sent through courier services and payments routed via UPI transfers and ATM cash deposits to evade detection.
  • Two BBA students, identified as Dinesh and Bhaskar, were tracked through parcel and banking records after receiving MDMA pills from a Nigerian contact called “Nick,” tying the campus case to an international supplier network.
  • In a separate Kondapur raid, EAGLE and Cyberabad police detained six at a service apartment and seized 20 grams of cocaine, eight ecstasy pills weighing 20 grams, and 3 grams of MDMA; the Bengaluru‑based supplier “Rahul alias Sonu” is absconding.
  • Citywide excise STF operations led to eight arrests, including a U.S. citizen, with more than 41 grams of cocaine and MDMA seized, while Maharashtra’s Kalyan Police separately reported a 115 kg ganja haul in an inter‑state case.
