The Story in Brief
Hyderabad police arrested a former University of Hyderabad (UoH) student late Tuesday night for allegedly selling ganja on campus. The 28-year-old peddler, who completed his postgraduation at UoH, named 17 current students as his buyers during interrogation, according to an Eagle Force official. Officers seized five grams of contraband from him.
The case began when Eagle Force raided a hostel on August 7 and detained a postgraduate student who tested positive for ganja. The arrested peddler faces charges under Section 27 of the NDPS Act and has been directed to appear for investigation. A senior UoH official disputed reports that 17 students tested positive, calling it a routine inspection. The verification of named students is ongoing.
The Indian Opinion
The university's quick denial that 17 students tested positive is a familiar reflex. The real test, however, is not arrest numbers but the response. Eagle Force has named the 17 as consumers, not peddlers. If UoH wants to reclaim the narrative from lazy fingers pointed at 'wayward youth', it must release clear data on how many students it sends to rehabilitation versus how many it expels. That number will decide whether this is a crackdown or a cover-up.
