Hyderabad's Medical College 32 students Found Consuming Ganja: Report
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.
As per Omcomnews news report, the consumption of drugs by the medical college students came to light when the EAGLE arrested two people, including a woman, on charges of drug trafficking. They were found supplying ganja (cannabis) to several consumers, including doctors. The drug suppliers were identified as Arfat Ahmed Khan (23), resident of Risala Bazar, Bolarum, Hyderabad, and Zarina Banu (46), resident of Bidar, Karnataka.
The drug addict, Khan, got into drug trafficking to satisfy his addiction. He contacted Banu and purchased a large quantity of ganja for local sale in Hyderabad. Between August 2024 and August 2025, he transferred a large amount of marijuana to her UPI account.
After interrogation, the police found six kg of ganja worth Rs 1.5 lakh from them, which has now been seized. Based on the confession of the accused, the Eagle team identified the consumers, including medicos. Eagle's investigation also revealed Bano's involvement in drug trafficking since 2010. She was previously also found involved in four other cases.
Meanwhile, following the incident, the anti-drug agency has announced that surprise inspections will continue in all institutions.
