EAGLE seize properties worth ₹6 crore linked to Alprazolam trafficking

The Telangana EAGLE Force, in collaboration with the Nizamabad police, has seized properties with an estimated market value of ₹6 crore, linked to illegal Alprazolam trafficking. This operation is part of a larger crackdown on a drug network operating across Telangana, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The seizure follows the arrest of 15 individuals and the recovery of 32.5 kg of Alprazolam, which led investigators to trace the financial proceeds of the alleged drug trade and identify assets acquired by the accused and their associates.

The seized assets include agricultural land, open plots, a chemical factory, vehicles, and two-wheelers, with a combined market value of around ₹6 crore, despite government rates estimating their value at ₹2.5 crore. The investigation also revealed connections between Alprazolam trafficking and adulterated toddy, leading to the identification of 68 victims in the Nasrullabad case and 15 in the Gandhari case, who were provided medical treatment.

The network reportedly involved individuals from Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana, who were involved in procuring, manufacturing, transporting, and distributing Alprazolam.
