The Story in Brief
Telangana's EAGLE Force has arrested seven people in two separate raids in Hyderabad’s Miyapur and Saifabad areas, seizing drugs worth Rs 12.65 lakh. In the first operation, police caught three men with 1.031 kg of opium and 18 grams of mephedrone. The second operation near Parishram Bhawan led to four arrests and recovery of 7 grams of mephedrone. According to a police press release reported by The Siasat Daily, the drugs were supplied from Rajasthan through couriers, private buses and trains. Since 2023, the force has intercepted 78 such attempts from the northern state. A Rajasthan-based kingpin, Mahender Kumawath, is alleged to be behind the supply.
The Indian Opinion
This bust is a reminder that the drug trade in Telangana relies heavily on interstate networks, but that fact is often twisted into a blame game against Rajasthan. The real issue is not which state the suppliers come from but how couriers, buses and trains are so easily used for smuggling. Instead of pointing fingers, citizens should test whether the toll-free number 1908 actually leads to action. The number of complaints that translate into arrests will tell if this crackdown is more than a press release.
