Key Arrests and Seizures
During the operation, five individuals were confirmed to have tested positive for drug use, including Aman Preet Singh, Aniketh Reddy, Prasad (a builder from Banjara Hills), and Madhusudhan. The police used instant urine tests to confirm the results, and these individuals have been sent to the hospital for further testing but have not been arrested yet.
Cyberabad Commissioner of Police Avinash Mohanty confirmed Aman’s involvement among the customers. The police arrested five drug sellers, which included two Nigerians and three locals. A significant seizure of 199 grams of cocaine was made during a raid on a flat in Hydershakotla, Narsingi. One of the arrested individuals was Onida Blessing, a Nigerian national.
Profiles of the Arrested
The arrested sellers were identified as:
- Allam Satya Venkat Goutham, working in Bangalore and a native of Vizag
- Sanaboina Varun Kumar, a native of Amalapuram
- Mohammed Shareef, a choreographer residing in Bandlaguda
Among the arrested Nigerians was Onida Blessing. The primary orchestrator of this drug syndicate, Divine Ebuka, is suspected to have fled to Nigeria. Ebuka is believed to be running a large-scale drug syndicate and working closely with the arrested dealers.
Drug Distribution Network
Divine Ebuka’s operation involved sending his main associate, Onuoha Blessing, from Nigeria to Delhi to transport drugs to Hyderabad and other Indian cities. She used both flights and trains to transport the cocaine, which she then supplied to the local dealers in Hyderabad. According to the police, Onuoha Blessing has transported large quantities of cocaine to Hyderabad over twenty times for distribution among the local dealers.
Impact on the Film Industry
Aman Preet Singh, who is also an actor, has been in the spotlight due to his connection with his sister, Rakul Preet Singh, a prominent figure in the Tollywood film industry. The involvement of a celebrity’s relative in such a case has garnered significant media attention and raised concerns about drug usage within high-profile circles.
