Hyderabad- In a shocking incident, as many as 32 students of a medical college in Hyderabad were found consuming drugs. This has come to light after Telangana's Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) recently arrested two people on charges of supplying drugs.
According to Omcomnews report, a total of 82 people have been identified as having consumed ganja (cannabis). This includes 32 students of Telangana's Medicity Medical College. This was revealed when the authorities conducted a drug test of 24 students, and nine of them, including two girls, tested positive. All of them stayed in the college hostel.
Following this, EAGLE officials, along with the college management, counselled the students in the presence of their parents. Currently, the nine students who tested positive have been sent to a de-addiction centre; the next 30 days will be crucial for their recovery and reintegration.
