Hyderabad: Three woman ganja peddlers held in Dhoolpet

Hyderabad: Ganja business is thriving in Dhoolpet area despite the police crackdown and the Prohibition and Excise department’s constant vigil.

The continuous surveillance of the area for ganja distribution and constant watching of drug peddlers are now paying off dividends to the enforcement agency.

Recently, the Special Task Force apprehended three women who were involved in selling ganja in the Bada Bungalow area of Dhoolpet. The accused have been identified as Pinta Singh, Rachna Bai and Sanjana Bai. The authorities seized 1.450 kg ganja from them. The police said another accused named Vijay Bai is absconding.

In another drug bust, the authorities raided a house in the same locality. They recovered 1.499 kg of ganja and arrested Kamala Bai and Divya Singh while three other associates Neha Bai, Durga Devi and Sangeeta Sahu managed to escape from the scene.

In the last few weeks, the excise enforcement officials have busted several drug syndicates and large quantities of ganja were seized during the raids. The authorities are now preparing an action plan to make Dhoolpet a drug-free locality.
