The four were nabbed red-handed by the police late on Thursday night and arrested on charges of buying banned drug cocaine. The Nigerian National is accused of being their supplier.
Talking to media persons at his office, Hyderabad City Police Commissioner AK Khan said the four will be produced before a Judge for remand and they would be booked under Section 22-D.
Mr Khan revealed that the police will strengthen the Anti Drug Cell so that the spreading menace of illegal drugs in the city can be curbed effectively.
The Police Chief further rued the recent space of cases in which the kin of the rich and famous were falling prey to the drug suppliers and indulging in the highly addictive habit. Mr Khan said that the Anti Drug Cell will concentrate on the suppliers and take special care to identify sources of supply to eliminate the menace at the root.
The Police chief also said that his men are investigating the involvement of around 60 more influential people in the city in the illegal drug trade. He assured the citizens that these persons would soon be taken into custody.
Mr Khan revealed that the drugs make their way in the city from other cities, mostly from Mumbai. He added that he has already written to his Mumbai counterpart over the matter.
Lastly, the police chief shook parents out of their slumber by saying that it was their responsibility to keep an eye on their wards. He said that the parents must be sensitive to their children's needs.
