Wanaparthy Police and RNCCs Nizamabad and Mahabubnagar of Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau (TGANB) have arrested two inter-state traffickers, who were involved in the illegal trade of Alprazolam (500 grams), a banned substance. The accused, identified as Narsimhulu Goud and Bhaskar Goud, were caught red-handed during a transaction at the Agriculture Market Yard in Pebbair and registered a case.

During interrogation, Narsimhulu Goud confessed to running this illegal business for the past five years, illicitly transporting and selling Alprazolam in Gadwal, Pebbair and Kurnool areas. He procured the substance from individuals in Kurnool, including Ediga Gopal Goud, Ediga Jagadish Goud, and Harshawardhan Goud, at a rate of Rs 2,80,000 per kg, selling it to buyers for Rs 4,00,000 per kg.

Investigations revealed that Bhaskar Goud, a resident of Bingidoddy village, had been purchasing Alprazolam from Narsimhulu Goud for toddy shop personnel. Upon arriving at Pebbair town to complete another purchase, he was apprehended alongside Narsimhulu Goud in a sting operation conducted by police teams.   

Upon searching their possessions, law enforcement found transparent packets containing light yellow powder, which was later confirmed by forensic experts as banned Alprazolam. Both accused individuals were taken into custody, and further legal proceedings are underway.
