Cyberabad police incinerate drugs worth ₹7.17 crore, including ganja, cocaine, and MDMA, seized from 155 cases.
The Drug Disposal Committee of the Cyberabad police incinerated 2,380 kilograms of drugs worth over ₹7.17 crore on Wednesday (November 13, 2024).
The destruction process was carried out at GJ Multiclave (India) Pvt. Ltd., a specialised bio-medical waste treatment facility in Edulapally village, Nandigama mandal of Rangareddy.
The drugs included 2,286.68 kilograms of ganja, 45.76 kilograms of ganja chocolates, 8.29 litres of hashish oil, 87.51 grams of MDMA, 72.97 grams of cocaine, 26.75 kilograms of charas, 10 kilograms of alprazolam, 1.64 kilograms of opium poppy and 8 units of LSD blots among others.
The wide range of drugs were seized from 155 cases registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act across 31 police stations of the Cyberabad commissionerate.
The counsel for the government of Karnataka brought to the notice of the bench that the Central Government had some time ago issued directions to States to cancel the licences issued to private organisations ‘treating mother’s milk as ayurveda, siddha, unani drug’. A private entity, whose license was cancelled by the State Government, had challenged the order before a single judge of the High Court, and the issue is pending adjudication.
