Drug Offenders: Police to open history sheets against repeat drug offenders | Hyderabad News

Hyderabad: TG-Anti Narcotics Bureau (TG-ANB) will open history-sheet against repeat offenders involved in violation of NDPS Act starting from August. Officials said history-sheets would be opened even against the foreign nationals known for supplying synthetic drugs.
This decision was taken recently and it communicated to all commissioners and superintendents of police.
Sources in TG-ANB said the bureau had records of nearly 1,000 drug peddlers and suppliers. Among them nearly 50 are inter-state smugglers and the ones who work for multiple drug networks. They would supply drugs to their networks and make sure it reached Telangana. So far, the officials found at least 10,000 persons in Telangana involved in drug abuse. However, this is the number of persons whose names came to light during the probe of drug cases. “In reality, the actual number of drug abusers in the state will be higher than the number on record,” a source said.
“During the checking of gadgets and questioning of the drug peddlers and consumers police usually found that in each case, the number of consumers ranged between 10 and 30,” officials said.
Officials have categorized the key peddlers depending on the drugs they smudge and supply. In heroin, Santosh Acharya from Rajasthan is a bulk supplier. similarly, the mysterious Star Boy, the arrested Nigerian Iwuala Udoka Stanley from Goa, the missing Nigerian Divine Ebuka Suzee operate major cocaine networks. Though Stanley was arrested a few months ago, his handlers like Oraka in Goa continue to operate major networks.
In many of the cases, during the confession of the accused cops come to know about the role of different big peddlers but they don’t have their details except the name, which in many instances turned out to be fictitious.
