H-NEW nabs two gangs

 Mimicking the movies, and spies, drug peddlers are using ‘dead drops’ to transact their business. This was seen in a recent bust by the H-NEW,  Humayunnagar and Kanchahbagh police teams. Dead drop refers to a method of transferring information or items in a discreet manner, which involves leaving an item in a designated location for someone else to pick up later. Those making the dead drops leave clues for the intended recipients; in this case it is the pictures of the spot. 


The accused used ‘mule accounts’ for payments. “To avoid detection and tracing, the peddlers maintained communication  over social media platforms,” he said and cautioned that the state police were equipped to track the suppliers, peddlers and consumers. 

Police said that Mohammed Abdul Rahman Osman, 24, a Sudanese national, who was residing in Tolichowki, holds a student visa. “He procured narcotics from suppliers in Bengaluru and distributed them to consumers in Hyderabad through a ‘dead drop’, sharing the location of the drugs and receiving payments through digital wallets,” said the police. Osman shares a photo of the place where he stashes narcotics along with the location to his handler, who would then share the same with the customer.

In a different operation, the H-NEW, along with Kanchanbagh Police, apprehended an inter-State drug supplier and two local peddlers.

The accused were identified as Nandakumar PS alias Lalu, 25, from Bengaluru, along with Mohd Imran alias Shukoor alias Sahil alias Immu, 29, and Kodidala Naveen, 24, from Hyderabad.Police seized 80 grams of MDMA, 10 LSD blots, three mobile phones, a weighing machine, and other packaging material from their possession.

“According to the police, Imran, a repeat offender, was previously arrested in February 2024 for drug possession. Facing financial difficulties, he re-entered the drug trade, procuring MDMA and LSD from Nandakumar in Bangalore and local supplier Naveen. He then sold these drugs to consumers in Hyderabad at a higher price,” said the police.
