Hyderabad’s top cop, Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar, stunned habitual criminals with unannounced midnight visits to their homes. Accompanied by his team, he interrogated rowdy sheeters on their past crimes, daily routines, income sources, and social circles, all while delivering a clear message: stay clean or face the consequences.
This dramatic action complements a sweeping drug-testing drive targeting 1,300 identified offenders citywide. Out of the first 250 tested, 190 came back positive, predominantly for cannabis. Positive cases were swiftly rehabilitated at de-addiction facilities.
Authorities see a direct correlation between drug use and escalating criminal activity. Habitual offenders often rely on narcotics, which police now aim to disrupt through rigorous testing and source tracing.
The Narcotics Enforcement Wing is deep into investigations to uncover supply lines and distributors. Supporting this is the EAGLE force, executing targeted raids to eliminate drug threats at their roots.
Sajjanar’s stealthy home inspections in areas like MD Lines and Defense Colony underscore a no-nonsense approach. He emphasized reforming lifestyles over mere punishment, but warned of tough measures for repeat offenders.
Telangana Police’s multi-pronged strategy signals a new era in crime control, prioritizing drug eradication to foster safer communities.
