Seven Charged in Rutgers University Social Media Drug Ring Bust

Authorities allege a private network created by a Rutgers alumnus facilitated drug sales among students, leading to arrests and significant seizures.

Seven individuals, including six Rutgers University students and one alumnus, were arrested and charged following a months-long investigation named 'Operation RU Pharm.'
Prosecutors claim the drug ring operated through a private social media network where Rutgers students could access drug menus and negotiate purchases.
The investigation uncovered large quantities of marijuana, LSD, cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, Adderall, Xanax, cash, and a firearm.
Anudeep Revuri, a 23-year-old Rutgers alumnus, is accused of leading the operation and faces charges including being a leader of a drug trafficking network.
Officials state the case remains active, with charges against the accused ranging from drug distribution to money laundering, and all defendants presumed innocent until proven guilty.
