Two arrested with 14.2 kg hashish oil worth ₹1.75 crore in Nagole

The Special Operations Team (SOT) of the LB Nagar Zone and the Nagole police have successfully intercepted and arrested two individuals, Thalle Nagaraju and Nagula Narayana, for their involvement in an inter-State hashish oil trafficking operation. The duo, both natives of Alluri Sitarama Raju district in Andhra Pradesh, were apprehended while transporting 14.2 kg of the narcotic substance worth around ₹1.75 crore on a motorcycle towards Gowrelly Road in Nagole.

The accused had reportedly received the consignment from Tamara Gopal, a resident of Singavaram village in Odisha, who allegedly offered ₹1 lakh each for transporting the hashish oil to Hyderabad. Police have seized the entire consignment, along with two mobile phones, the motorcycle, and ₹2,500 in cash. The suspected supplier, Gopal, remains at large, and efforts are being made to trace him and identify the intended recipients. Both accused have prior connections to narcotics-related cases in 2023.
