Hyderabad: In a significant triumph for law enforcement, the Telangana Anti-Drug Task Force's Elite Action Group for Law Enforcement (EAGLE) has dismantled an extensive international drug-smuggling racket involving high-value hydroponic cannabis. Operating out of Thailand and targeting Hyderabad, the gang's illegal activities earned them an estimated Rs12 crore in the international market.

Following months of thorough surveillance, EAGLE conducted a targeted operation that apprehended ten key members of the criminal network, including the alleged mastermind. This strategic move came after the team received specific intelligence about the operations behind this extensive smuggling syndicate.
The scope of the illegal activities was vast, with the gang primarily engaged in importing hydroponic cannabis from Thailand and distributing it across Hyderabad for profit.
