C.V. Anand urges students to refrain from peer pressure
Hyderabad police are committed to root out drug menace ‘at any cost’, said Commissioner of Police C V Anand on Monday.
Mr. Anand, along with the in-charge Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central zone) M. Rajesh Chandra launched the ‘Awareness Against Abuse’ programme at RTC Kalabhavan.
“Our approach comprises preventive drug education, tough laws and robust enforcement through H-NEW. Our police personnel will actively campaign in the communities and the anti-drug approach is strongly supported by the public and the State government,” the CP said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
