Pub in Hyderabad’s Manikonda raided, 24 nabbed for drug consumption
According to officials, police conducted a raid on a pub in Hyderabad where drugs were allegedly being consumed on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday.
Acting on a tip-off, sleuths of the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TGNAB) and the Special Operations Team of Raidurgam Police raided a Cave Club, a pub in the Manikonda area, where they picked up about 50 attendees at an Electronic Dance Music party.
TGNAB officials checked them using portable drug detection kits. Of them, 24 tested positive for drug consumption. Most of those caught had smoked or consumed Ganja.
The DJ was among those who were found to have used drugs.
Police were trying to identify the main accused in the case. Those arrested will be produced before a magistrate later in the day.
Last week, after police arrested three drug peddlers and eight consumers, TGNAB officials identified 20 students from a business school who were buying narcotics from those peddlers.
According to TGNAB, a total of 3,792 accused were arrested and contraband worth Rs.179.3 crore was seized. It also froze properties worth Rs.47.16 crore of the narco offenders and their henchmen in five cases.

This should not be another Tamasha.
Great action. Hope they will not go unpunished nor courts give them benefit of age & long career & excuse them of their crimes. Why not mark-up their criminal & drug behavior on Aadhar database & deny them passports later ?
