Hyderabad man held with 30.5 gm brown sugar during checks
Excise and Prohibition Department officials in Hyderabad seized 30.5 grams of brown sugar from a 28-year-old man during vehicle and pedestrian checks on Matangi Road in Patancheru on Friday, August 21.
Excise and Prohibition Department officials in Hyderabad seized 30.5 grams of brown sugar from a 28-year-old man during vehicle and pedestrian checks on Matangi Road in Patancheru on Friday, August 21.
The suspect, identified as Jessie Moddeen, a native of West Bengal, had reportedly come to the area looking for work but was allegedly involved in selling brown sugar. Shamshabad Excise Superintendent Radhakrishna Reddy confirmed the seizure. A case has been registered at the Patancheru Excise Station and further investigation is underway.
A day earlier, the same department seized 11.16 kg of ganja worth an estimated Rs 6 lakh from a train travelling from Tandur to Secunderabad. The person who brought the ganja is believed to have escaped before being caught. An unknown-person case has been registered.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Telangana's Excise Department has been cracking down on drug peddling in industrial belts like Patancheru, which see a floating migrant workforce. The brown sugar seizure, though small in weight, points to retail-level supply chains that often link to larger networks. The ganja haul a day earlier, valued at Rs 6 lakh, highlights the scale of drug trafficking through railway routes. The department's challenge is identifying the kingpins behind these consignments, especially when suspects flee. The next step for investigators is to trace Moddeen's local contacts and phone records to map the supply chain.
