The EAGLE Force, in a coordinated interstate operation with Hyderabad and Cyberabad police, has apprehended three persons in Goa. These individuals are believed to be part of an interstate drug smuggling network that catered to over 1,050 consumers in Telangana.
Officials stated that the operation involved technical intelligence gathering, surveillance, and coordinated field action. These efforts were aimed at tracing absconding suspects and investigating drug supply networks within Telangana.
The accused have been identified as Priteesh Narayan Borkar alias Babu alias Khali, Basharath Ahmed Dhagga alias Bilal alias Jahan Dhagga alias Mansur Ahmed, and Tharun.
An EAGLE Force official indicated that investigators had identified a network supplying drugs to more than 1,050 consumers in Telangana, with others also in Andhra Pradesh. The official noted that these figures are provisional and subject to verification.
This operation marks a significant step in curbing drug supply in Telangana. The successful dismantling of interstate drug smuggling networks through collaborative efforts will help reduce drug consumption in the state.
