Hyderabad police are contemplating booking cases against drug abusers
The Hyderabad police are contemplating booking cases against drug abusers going forward, as they found that it has become an unwieldy operation.
“Till now, we have been mainly focusing on the drug supply chain. Now, we are seriously considering monitoring the demand chain as well,” Commissioner of Police C.V. Anand said on Thursday.
Announcing the arrest of seven members of three inter-State ‘Class A’ drugs peddling gangs, he said that police were liberal, keeping in mind careers of the drug abusers, who were mostly youngsters. “But, now we have tightened all screws and would pursue them,” he said. With traction in demand for psychotropic substances, the police would be on hot pursuit of the users.
