Telangana Excise department formed a two-member SIT including the assistant excise superintendent S Srinivas Rao and an excise inspector to probe the Hyderabad Drug Supply Racket. Drugs were brought into the country from a supplier in Canada who was a drug addict himself.
Call data records and emails analysed by the police from the seized mobile phones of the accused revealed appalling details. As per the reports, a teenager who did not have money to buy the drugs, allegedly traded her naked pictures for narcotics. She asked the person to sell the nudes and give her drugs equivalent to the money earned.
Around 1000 minors purchased drugs from the gang. The students are citing various reasons to extract money from parents. When officials contacted the parents, while some were astonished, a few of them said that they were aware of kids were drug addicts, but remained helpless.
Calvin followed couple of ways to supply drugs to schools. First is the direct approach of waiting on the motorcycle for students to come, while the second being the indirect approach of selling it to through the small shops near the school. The students could identify the sellers effortlessly.
The Excise Department sent notices to 20 schools in the city on Monday and to a few engineering colleges, whose students are the clienteles of the drug peddlers. Officials initially identified that a Telugu film producer also bought drugs through Calvin’s gang. However, in the process of investigation another producer’s name surfaced. The police are likely to probe the TFI officials.
Hyderabad police were investigating the case for 20 days before conducting raids and detaining three accused who were booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The hunt is on for two others. Meanwhile the officials held that the drug addicts instead of being reprimand, need counselling and rehabilitation.
