Maharashtra Police bust interstate drug unit in Sangareddy, seize contraband worth ₹6.5 crore

Hyderabad: Maharashtra Police busted an interstate drug unit operating from a farmhouse in Kohir mandal of Sangareddy district and seized mephedrone, chemicals and equipment worth an estimated ₹6.5 crore.

Acting on specific intelligence, a special team from Mumbai raided two farmhouses at Peecheryagadi Thanda under Kohir police station limits. During the operation, investigators discovered a suspected drug manufacturing facility functioning from the premises.

Police found laboratory equipment and infrastructure allegedly used to produce narcotic substances. Officers also seized around three kilograms of mephedrone and large quantities of raw materials linked to drug production.

According to investigators, the seized materials have an estimated international market value of ₹6.5 crore. Preliminary inquiries revealed that the accused had transported the chemicals and related materials from Mumbai.

The police team said the suspects chose the rural farmhouse location to avoid detection and carry out operations discreetly. Investigators believe the group manufactured drugs at the site and supplied them to Mumbai and several other cities.
