Driver arrested with hash oil worth ₹2.5 lakh near ORR

In a recent drug bust near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in Vijayawada-Hyderabad highway, a 30-year-old driver named Burse Narendra Srinivas was arrested by the Telangana EAGLE Force and Abdullapurmet police. The accused was found in possession of 200 ml of hash oil, valued at ₹2.5 lakh. Srinivas, originally from Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh, had a history of five NDPS-related arrests.

After being released on bail, he allegedly resumed drug peddling after discovering that his driver earnings were insufficient for his expenses. He allegedly procured the hash oil through a supplier named Hari, whom he met via Snapchat. Srinivas had made three previous purchases from the supplier, with this being his third. The supplier, Hari, is currently at large. A case has been registered under the NDPS Act at the Abdullapurmet police station.
