Hyderabad man caught with 14 ecstasy pills, leads to Goa-Mumbai supply trail

A 29-year-old man who allegedly travelled from Mumbai to Hyderabad carrying ecstasy pills for two acquaintances was apprehended near the Miyapur Metro Station, with the investigation now pointing to a wider Goa-Mumbai-Hyderabad drug supply network.

The Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE), along with Miyapur police, apprehended Pola Suresh Gopi, 29, and seized 14 ecstasy pills containing MDMA, weighing about nine grams, and two mobile phones.

According to investigators, Gopi, a native of Miryalaguda in Nalgonda district, who currently resides in Hyderabad, moved to Goa in July 2024 and entered the rental-property business. It was during his stay there that he allegedly came in contact with people involved in the sale of narcotics and began procuring drugs for acquaintances and selling them at higher prices.

The investigation has identified two alleged suppliers, one Baba in Goa and Danish Alam Ansari of Mumbai, both of whom are absconding.
