23 drug consumers complete de-addiction programme after Telangana’s EAGLE Force operation
Twenty-three drug consumers in Telangana have completed a court-mandated de-addiction program following a major police operation against a drug supply chain. The EAGLE Force investigation dismantled a network spanning from Odisha to Hyderabad.
Why it matters
The case demonstrates a shift toward rehabilitation-focused judicial outcomes for drug consumers under the NDPS Act.
Twenty-three drug consumers identified during an EAGLE Force operation have completed de-addiction treatment and received rehabilitation completion certificates, months after an investigation uncovered a drug supply chain stretching from Odisha to Hyderabad.
The consumers were counselled again as part of the continuing rehabilitation process and produced before the court in L.B. Nagar. Eligible people were considered under Section 64-A of the NDPS Act and granted the applicable statutory benefit or immunity by the court, the EAGLE Force said.
The case originated with a complaint against 27-year-old Satya Avinash of Kukatpally, who was suspected of peddling MDMA and LSD. During the investigation, the police allegedly uncovered a supply chain running from Koraput district in Odisha through Pachipenta in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, to Hyderabad.
